Thanks rH! I get into a rut where I think my sitch is different, and they all do have minor pieces that are unique, but the script stays the same for them. It's so nice for all of us to remind each other of that. Im not the first one to be here and unfortunately I won't be the last.
I'm stronger than I was a month or two weeks ago. I can feel it. I suspect she does too.
Story from church today. We sit next to a gentleman whose wife left him a few years ago with two high school age boys. She had issues with alcohol and lost it. He's prob 20 yrs my senior and is aware of my situation. Since I've known him he has never stood for a hymn. Never! Even when his family was together. Today I saw him looking at me when I stood for the first one, grab a hymnal, and stand too.
It's entirely possible I was butchering the song so bad that he was moved into action to try to drown me out. Whatever his reason, it was powerful for me. I will get through this with dignity. I will get through this projecting a positive attitude.
