Becoming Patient Man III - Moving Forward

[PatientMan]

PM, I am in awe of your writing, you are so fluent and articulate your thoughts so well! Do you do this as well verbally also?

Thank you for the compliment.

To answer your question, I prefer verbal, face-to-face communication over any other form. This will probably come as a surprise, but I really don't enjoy writing because I find textual communication to be extremely limiting. And because I feel that limitation, I tend to become verbose to ensure the message I am trying to convey gets transmitted properly. This leads to really long posts, where I imagine people click on my thread, see the volume of what I've posted, have their eyes gloss over, and move onto someone else's sitch.

I’m not sure why, but I relate your situation to the movie the Vow with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. I think that once you let go all the way (not meaning giving up being a great father and friend) that then is when the chance of your W opening her eyes up and seeing you would happen.

Thanks for the advice/push. I haven't seen that movie and am not sure that I can anytime soon - it's a "chick-flick" and I don't have a "chick" to watch it with who I can blame on "making" me see it with her.

You’re an asset to this board, I hope you see how much you help others.

Thank you again. It makes me happy to hear that and is very nice of you to say.

I like helping other people. I'm doing more of that in real life as well. If I can help anyone avoid going through what I had to go/am going through, or even just get through it faster/better/healthier, then that's a win.
