This is the last day of life for this thread I'm sure. It's been 8 months since the bomb, 7 1/2 months of being on this board, 7 months since she moved out, and 3 months since the divorce. I can honestly say, as strange as it may sound, that the last two months have probably been among the best in my life. Thank you all.

My song of the day to close my own thread. I've been listening to this music the last several months since going to the free concert in South Dakota. It's Jeremy Camp. When I hear it, thinking as I often do about my R with XW, I wonder if God can forgive, forget, and take me back, maybe I need to be willing to do the same.

Quote:

The reason why I stand
The answer lies in you
You hung to make me strong
Tho my praise was few
When I fall I bring your name down

But I have found in you
A heart that bleeds
Forgiveness replacing all these thoughts of painful memories
And I know your response will always be

I'll take you back always
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back

I can only speak with a graceful heart
As I'm pierced by this gift of your love
I will always bring an offering
I can never thank you enough

You take me back always
Even when my fight is over now
You take me back
Even when the pain is coming through
You take me back






In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
Theodore Roosevelt
