Happy Birthday, sweetie!!!

Hey M. It was tough to hear what they had to say back then, but, it was also so helpful and necessary and I knew they had my back.

Mighty, I dont want to make this about your xh, but, trust me when I tell you being in crisis is very, very hard.

I am so glad you had help and you were able to laugh some. You will have more and more days like that.

It's all normal..all these feelings. All part of this. All needed for you to move forward.

I so get what you mean about him still being around. You dont just erase twenty something years of someone's presence.

I am so sorry that you felt sad that xh didnt acknowledge your birthday.

It is really scary to let him go. To let go of the dreams and the future you thought you were going to have.

Letting go is a choice. It is you saying that you have no control over anyone but you. It is a prayer to the heavens and a way to honor you.

This is so tough, I know. It happens in layers. The stronger you get the more of them that get pulled.

You dont want to rush through it. Each and every part is important to get you to the other side.

You will get there. I know it. Each moment, then each day, will get you closer.

You are made of tough stuff, M. I can see that. It's ok to not be strong sometimes. As long as you can dig in when you need to.

I am over here rooting you on.
