glad that hyour settlement is decent. it's always a "letdown" isn't it- this whole darn thing. we're always "adjusting" ourselves, our expectations, etc. i don't think we ever will "understand" them or maybe want to. it's that th is was soooo th rust upon us- no choice, no consideration. p.u.
i guess in the end (since we're forced to) we get used to them not being who they were anymore and get on with our own lives as be st we can .
it's sad- you sound pretty good tho- so good for you.
