Hi Betsey - I've been skirting around this thread coz my 'guilt' over not properly dealing with the boundaries theme keeps looming large in my mind. I blame this over-developed conscientiousness on the nuns in the convent - I wish my parents were not that fond of Catholic education systems Looking in, and now posting, is a huge step for me, knowing I owe myself the dissertation on boundaries

BUT, the reason I am really glad I stopped by was to give you a supportive hug.

Instead of praying that I get my wish granted, I pray for acceptance.

Poignantly, this makes me want to cry. Since the end of March, I too have been praying for the courage and strength to accept whatever happens. I feel this approach has helped me detach further. Not giving up, after all, we do have dreams and wishes, but to also acknowledge that some things are beyond our control, or even influence.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed, hoping Mr. W has the courage, stamina and compassion for himself, and his family, and decides wisely. My turn to send you a big hug. Love, Slowly
