Bea, I'm truly sorry he's not working on himself and is just giving lip service these days. It's a shame because he lost so much and had a good family that would have stood by him through thick and thin.
I wanted to just give you an update on Rip Van Winkle. He's been mia since October 1, 2014. I've not heard a peep out of him. His home sold June 26th and I can only guess that he might be relocating back to where he was originally from. Like you, I wish him well and hope that some day he will find that illusive happiness he has so desperately been seeking for many years.
Bea, I admire the way that you've handled your situation. You are a lady of great dignity and grace and have been a wonderful example of how you have carried on w/your life. My hat's off to you!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
