HP,

Its been a tough night, may just want to chill for the evening with Son....re-address these things tomorrow.
___________
Now, I'm seeing HP from a couple threads ago....not the angry HP, but the beating himself up HP. You've grown a lot, we can all see the changes. However, because you've grown; doesn't mean your done growing. Have you looked at the stages of Grief?

1) denial
2) anger
3) bargaining
4) depression
5) acceptance

We are all going through this and its not linear. What you're feeling in HP is growth and managing grief at the same time. That's okay, we're not keeping score about HP, don't keep score yourself.

Just like claire said, acceptance is not agreeing. However, it means you are aware of where you are today.

Remember the quote you had a few pages ago from Band of Brothers? That was acceptance. It didn't mean they were going to live or die, but that quote was just telling them to accept the situation they are in.

I got a corny wooden saying last weekend that seemed very relevant for me right now. It said:

"Expect nothing, Appreciate Everything" Appreciate what you had tonight with W, expect nothing from it or from her. You guys made progress.
