Frank,

I have learned so much from you. I have realized today that I've been telling you to hang on and not give up because my H gave up and naturally, I then WOKE up. I didn't want that to happen to your wife. I didn't want her to wake up too late and be where I am. I don't think she has what it takes to fight from THIS side of the fence. But you know what? I didn't either. Not when I was lost. It took all the realizations I got along the way "back" to give me the strength I have now, weak though it may be at times . So if that is to be her outcome, then she'll have exactly what it takes to fight. The strength is built in the journey.

You posted such a long and caring message on my thread today and I heard you loud and clear and I thank you very much. But everyone else is right. You have to take care of YOU and you ARE and that is the RIGHT thing for you to do. Hanging on would stunt your personal growth and you can't let that happen. That's why my H let me go. I left him with no other choice. Now I'm on the fightin' side and for now, atleast, I'll keep pressing on.

You are already a winner in your sitch. I still remember your first posts so well, Frank. Have you ever gone back and read them and seen how much you have grown? You really should someday. It's quite a turnaround. Thanks for letting me piggyback & learn a few lessons from you.

Take care and thanks again for that post on my thread.
You gave me much to think about.
