Hi Wii - thanks for checking in. Well two weeks post-dumping, I'm still trying to get used to NOT having a girlfriend. It's a hard transition to make when you are used to sharing what is happening with your life on a daily basis and getting together regularly, especially on the weekends. However the fact that in just two short weeks I am heading over to Europe on a 9 day vacation (Scotland/Italy) should help immensely.
This weekend I am considering travelling to the mid-west to visit a friend I haven't seen in some time and to also surprise my oldest daughter as she crosses the finish line of her very first Marathon. So I am staying busy which is good.
Once I get back from vacation then I will decide whether it's time to test the dating waters again. BA
Yes, I completely understand the loss you mention. It's certainly hard when you've had that wonderful connection on a daily basis and then it's gone. It leaves a big empty hole which sometimes you can fill and sometimes not. It's very special to have someone who you can call or who calls you daily and who really wants to know how your day went. We all have friends but, let's face it, they don't want to hear from us on a daily basis! So, all in all, it sounds like you're doing well. Have a great trip and enjoy that special moment with your daughter!:)
Had a great weekend visiting my good friend in Ohio and then traveling up to Kalamazoo, MI to see my daughter run in her first ever Marathon. I surprised her at mile 16 and she broke down in tears - it was very touching emotionally for both of us and I am so glad that I made the trip. She completed the race and is now a member of the 26.2 mile club!
Now I am getting excited to head out on my European trip next week - just wish I had someone special to share it with - but who knows there just might be a Scottish Lass or Italian Bella out there waiting for me!
Or maybe just enjoy some special time with Beginning Again :)So happy that ur surprise turned out so well last weekend, what a fantastic memory! Enjoy ur trip. You sound great (but I hope ur giving yourself some time for tears too if you need it!)
Wii - I do enjoy my alone time and I am sure that I will enjoy the solo trip - however I'm an outgoing social kind of guy and really enjoy sharing experiences with someone and if that someone happens to be a girlfriend, i.e. significant other, all the better.
Otherwise I am doing pretty good. My mantra is "smile because it happened and not frown because it's over".
