An eloquent post. A wise post. Such hard earned wisdom.
Yes, the tsunami will destroy anything in its path; best to protect one’s self and family, and stand clear as much as possible. And of course - be alive. Live full. Wittiness the blessings and miracles that surround us.
Healing takes time. For our spouse and for us. Our paths will falter, it’s how wisdom is gained. Dusting off, standing back up, and continuing forward is how wisdom is earned.
2014 to present. I will acknowledge the cautionary side of your tale, as you have illustrated. Please see the inspirational side of your tale as well, as I see it to be. What you have been through, the knowledge gained and shared, the adversity overcome, and the person you’ve become. No small feat. A worthy path my dear friend. Very worth the time invested!

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
