Dear Kramer,

I understand we are in different places.

I also feel like giving up. That I failed. I wanted kids and I don't know how that can be possible now. I feel like I could never trust anyone again, and wonder about my own intuition.

You're not so old. If I found a 51 yo man that I believed was dedicated, a good communicator, with shared values and was just as crazy about me as I was him - it wouldn't be a question. I intend to heal and love again.

I hope you surprise yourself, and when I say that, I don't mean to argue with how you feel now.
