Raine,
The three words that so many would want to hear from their spouses...you have heard! This is wonderful and I am so very happy for you!

Look how far you have come in 12 months! You've had so many ups and downs and your h has been on his own coaster as well. My dear, your life's story isn't over yet and there will be many more happy chapters to share and write about as you and your family continue to grow and learn from each other.

Put your faith in the man upstairs for he has given you both a second chance. Use the skills you've learned wisely and make this a new and improved marriage. Always remember to grow, learn, listen and keep an open mind. Keep those changes going and try not to fall back into old habits.

Raine, you are a inspiration to all that come here to read your postings. Keep up the good work! Miracles do happen, especially when you have faith in yourself and the man upstairs.

Merry Christmas! It will surely be the best one yet for you and your family.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
