(Virginia) Wow - you sure have grown - as a father and a man. Funny, it doesn't seem like it. It seems more like I'm less distracted trying to save my M and now I'm more of who I really am.
(Spitfire) I had to grab the kleenex. This is actually the 5th draft of this letter. The first draft was made last March. It was 3 pages long and it was full of emotion, tears, and other gobbledygook. I wrote this version without shedding a tear. Should I be concerned about that?
Update One of our dogs woke me up twice last night crying. This morning he just isn't himself. This is a sudden thing and I hope that it is nothing serious. The pets are a big part of our lives and have helped us thru the past 15 months. It would sadden us to lose him.
Back in the early spring as part of my 180 package, I went to a comedy workshop and wrote a 3-minute standup routine. There were some jokes about WAW, OM and counseling. I felt that if I did it on stage, I'd negatively impact my chances of saving my M b/c of those jokes. Now, I want to do it, but after the holidays. I think this is still more of me dropping the rope. I want to do it, just to say that I did it. I don't plan on getting a sit-com offer out of it.
