Big hugs Barb and sending prayers your way. I hope you get nothing but good news.
BA, I hope things go well with Julie. To me that sounds like the most promising pairing. You have been living your lives along the same lines and now have come together. As for her name, it doesn't need to be an issue unless you make it one. Odds are she has a different personality, different look and is in a different point of her life versus where you and your first were.
So happy for you GG. Good to be holding your boundaries. You are teaching him how to treat you. We all need to remember that in our next relationships.
