If we own the story then we can write the ending

Thanks Sandi I think that in a lot of ways I'm coming to a conclusion that at this point all it's doing is signaling my own denial of what is going on. At first I think it made sense to leave it on because I wasn't ready to accept things for as they are. I couldn't detach, and it was a symbol of defiance in a way. Now I think I'm at a point where I've accepted the situation for what it is, most of the time I've fought a lot of the hard battles, learning to detach, there are still many still to fight! But over all I think it has just lost a lot of its meaning. It was a symbol of a bond to someone, a commitment, something that for now is lost... my taking it off it doesn't mean I'm giving up, I still have hope, but it just means I accept the way things are. Does that make any sense? I haven't had any coffee yet this morning
