Oh no -- that SONG. That one just KILLS me so I just can't listen right now. My favorite version is a live recording by Allen Stone. Love that - soulful. But can't listen now. Still too hard. Or, maybe I should try, and see if I can get through it without crying? Hey, I just might...

I had a birthday on March 21st. I also was used to getting really nice, thoughtful gifts. He always made a big deal out of it. This year, I got a TEXT MESSAGE: "happy birthday." Yeah, that's it. Nice eh? (He was probably with OW, 17 years younger than him by the way, so I guess the text couldn't be too long or she'd wonder what he's doing.)

Hope you're having a better day today, praying_in_GA. As so many have chimed in, it does get better. 10 months in, and I feel like I have finally turned a corner, and I've run right past him now. For everyone it's going to be a different timetable though, and everyone's situation - and MLC'er - is different. Hang in there and keep posting.
