I'm sorry the date didn't turn out quite as you expected. I would feel a bit odd if someone dropped that news on me that he had left the priesthood. If you feel empty about the date, then I would say let it go. The feeling will return, but it may take some time.
I'm glad you enjoyed your time out w/your friend and had some good Thai food.
I do hope that your daughter have begun to decorate for the holiday and are enjoying some quality time while doing so. The new year is right around the corner and hopefully things will look much brighter for you. Stay positive and have faith!
Also, it's time to start a new thread. I'll be happy to link your threads for you.
