Great to hear these things from you. It surely has been a strange journey indeed. And it seems it has sloooowwwwly begun to shift in your favor. First of all you are becoming a survivor and no longer white knuckling the roller coaster. Kudos to you kiddo.
Yes, most of us would live happily ever after just to have a sane ten minute talk with our lost love. No false hopes of course, and no answers, just ten minutes of sanity. And you deserve every minute of it that you get. Baby steps aren't so small when you put them in perspective, are they?
My Christmas wish is for you to enjoy the holidays to the max, and experience a couple extra baby steps. Your New Year is certain to be better than the last one. That is one thing most of us can hang our stocking on!!!
This is as good a place as any to share perspective. One of the two guys I share an office with just attended his only child's college grad, and moved her back home. She is to start grad school while working as a sub teacher a while. His back was sore after the box moving weekend. Went to a chiropracter for about three sessions, then began passing blood in urine.
Went to MD who checked him into hospital immediately. Scans and MRIs show a large mass on his kidney, liver, and spine. Just left visiting the hospital. The prognosis is clearly not good but he is doing an amazing job keeping spirits high for the family at Christmas. Making plans to move to advanced research treatment center.
I could have it worse. You could have it worse. Let us count our blessings together at this special time of the year, and not forget how special it is indeed.
