And I thank you for the acknowledgement. In fifteen months? that's wonderful. It took me much longer to get there. It took me a bit longer to understand what was being told to me by her docs, her own family,I suppose I was hanging on a bit too long, and should have started to move along much sooner, but that was me. I must confess, I nearly "lost it", but didn't by a thread. I should have "let go" a lot sooner. My error. You are about to face some diffulct times, and I empathize. What kept me going was welcoming into my life another person, not because I NEEDED them , but because I liked to share life experiences with another person and to welcome their perspective on day to day things. That pretty well worked out until .... Rejection. Strike 2. Took a while to get back to that mind set, welcoming, not needing. Once I did, behold, there was another that understood the same, "I don't NEED you in my life, but if you would like to share yours and mine, that's great". And it is. There is life for the left behinds. I guess we find each other, the "left behinds". When we do, we already understand. It makes for a nice welcoming hug for starters. "Fun" evening this last evening. X1 dropping off DD at my house, I thanked her for having me over for dinner last night for Christmas, she leaned over, gave me a big hug and a peck on the cheek! 14 years since the last one. Life goes on. Make sure yours does.
