Bridges that cross the Universe!

[PigPen]

The vanishing is always the hardest to comprehend I think Di. How can someone who was there every second of every day, in your thoughts, in your decisions, and firmly in your heart...just be gone.

I understand why people equate D to a death, I spoke to my W multiple times a day via text, ILU's, phone calls to and from work, you name it. Then BD hit and poof - she's gone!

It's all so strange isn't it. With M, I believe we also tell ourselves on some level that this is forever, so we won't ever find ourselves in this predicament again. We've all had break ups, but those days are gone once the rings come on. Craziness all around.

I wish I had deep, sagely advice for how to let this all unfold faster or with less pain but it doesn't seem possible. There appears to be an unwrapping that happens with D and that unwrapping is all of the intertwined fibers of the combined lives coming apart.

Again, it's all so strange from the outside looking in.

Your attitude is great, you're doing the only sane thing one can - taking it one day at a time. Each one presents a new challenge, and a new opportunity for both letting go, and healing.

Drop that rope, it helps, even if you pick it up real quick at the first sign of life from your H. You don't hold on to it as tightly the next time you pick it up.
