Sounds like a good day was had. Shame for her she couldn't enjoy it as much.
I remember during those times as well - my ex had all kinds of stomach issues. It was heartbreaking. Funny thing about these folks: the physical manifestations are pretty rough. I think she had back acne at the time too ('roids? (J/K)). It was tough to watch what stress can do to a person and even harder when we think we have the key to make it stop. For the record, we do not. They have to figure it out on their own.
And so it's better if we live our life and detach. While we'd like for it to be different or we'd like to have some control or influence, we only delay the healing if we do that.
That's something we can look back on later and see more clearly. Check with some of the old folks in the local old folks homes sometime - you'll see what I mean
You are doing very well and you are keeping a good pace with your own self. I admire that.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, J!
