Closer to Fine

[labug]

kg, your post made me think of this song,

When You asked how I've been here without you
I'd like to say I've been fine and I do.
But we both know the truth is hard to come by
And if I told the truth, that's not quite true

Some days are diamonds some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds some days are stones.

I'm accepting the stones along with the diamonds, finding that the pocket with the diamonds is getting full faster.

I had another lesson in letting go last evening. Chatting with S24 (he's in Canada) he told me that GF is coming here with him and they're getting an apartment. He still has 2 semesters of school before he graduates. I sorta knew this was coming based on other things he's said in the past weeks.

My first reaction, NOOOOOOOO! But I kept my mouth shut and listened. They've done a lot of planning and thinking about this. They're adults, it isn't my life.

I don't know what the future holds for them other than I will love him and get to know, and I hope love, her.

Letting go gets easier every time I do it.
