I think I'd said she struck a nerve, but I now think she has only revealed a true sadness that'd been hidden away. Am I being a wuss? I don't know. It's probably a good thing to feel something now and again as a part of this process. It's just strange that feelings of hope, have transformed into other, more definitive feelings.
betterm,
Just to clarify, when I mentioned the "wuss" thing it was in reference to my nice guy tendencies rather than feelings of sadness. I don't think that being sad about the situation is a "wuss" response. I think being sad about all that's happened is a very normal response and reinforces the fact that you're a good guy.
I hope you are feeling better today. I'd bring you a banana Icee, but it'd probably be all gone before I could ever get it to you.
