Ganbatte (gan-bat-te) means something like "do your best" in Japanese. My sister - who was living in Tokyo at the time of BD - explained to me that ganbatte is used when Westerners would typically say "good luck"…like at the beginning of a test. Seemed fitting for my display name (dang that 7 character limit!)
I am still here doing my best to turn things around. Not much to report on R front. H hasn't been in touch since he picked up his things 3 weeks ago. I've since moved into my own place and…feel pretty good actually. It's taken a bit to get internet set up so I haven't been posting much lately.
For now, a toast - to new beginnings and internet! Thanks so much to everyone for sharing your stories and commenting on mine. I honestly don't know where I would be without the virtual you.
