Not really bug, I have a tendency to throw ideas out there and say something to the effect "wouldn't you love to do that". I need to be mindful of what she truly wants to do. I def. know Macy's and pretty sure on the broadway show. I do appreciate the U- turn back to the reality that is me. I will try to let her dream and plan without my "guidance".

Wow!! that must have been difficult to live through. I am happy to hear that you have forgiven, how monumental was that to accomplish?

Thank you for the encouragement. The D was final on the 20th of last month. I do not know what lies in our future however I feel like God is not done with us yet. I am going to move forward with my life and let whatever happens unfold. I will be okay no matter what.

Well my ego would love to hear that, me heart would love to hear that she is okay and not going to self destruct with bad or risky behavior. I want the eventual outcome for her to be good, with or without me. Like you said I need time and space for me to heal.


You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
