Your forward steps (and even those just pacing in the same place) pave the way for those of us beside you and those still to follow. Thank you for sharing and your courage to post your reality.Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-77570013656634002009-10-19T23:21:32.549-04:002009-10-19T23:21:32.549-04:00You are truly an amazing woman.You are truly an amazing woman.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-89366904260442526862009-10-19T22:58:20.244-04:002009-10-19T22:58:20.244-04:00I reckon I went into a jet-lag fuelled frenzy of o...I reckon I went into a jet-lag fuelled frenzy of outrage directed at your ex specifically. Thank you for responding to the responses because in doing so (and typical of you without even trying it seems to come so naturally to you to ensure that everyone is comforted even when the focus should remain on your pain, at the end of the day this is your sacred space - your blog - where you can safely write how you feel, and vent if you feel the need (god knows I do and often) yet I am relieved to hear that you have found some degree of comfort in our comments, and this in turn gives me comfort, in your own true unique style. You are one amazing woman - and for me you really do epitomize a truly caring and loving, loveable person who has her priorities in order (without the need to analyze or apply any thought in doing so), with a unique insight and empathy that is so remarkably recognizable as your own "signature" and your quiet understated show of strength and the beauty that comes from your heart and soul - the way you naturally seek to help and comfort those through your own sometimes unbearable pain, You are special and I love you for being you. I wish I could show the bright light that emanates from the essence that is you TO YOU, but your eyes will not accept the light that is uniquely yours - by that I mean you would not validate it as your own, because it goes against your own inimitable style. Unassuming yet quietly resolved strength. No wonder your Dragon recognized his soulmate to easily - you must have been the answer to his ddemons ... simply being with you must have given him balm for his own nightmares and inner turmoil, your own brand made specifically for him, like an antidote for the soul.Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695496303699631884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-77922274596791347622009-10-19T22:13:07.809-04:002009-10-19T22:13:07.809-04:00you, plain and simple; amidst our pain and heavy d...you, plain and simple; amidst our pain and heavy darkness, inspire me. your Dragon loves you so much, your words, your pain is an expression of love. enduring love. a dear widow friend once asked me, "what wouldnt you bear for warren (my love,) what couldnt you do for him?" my answer was "nothing." i would do anything, everything, knowing he was at the end. <br /><br />lots of love.<br />xKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387405534615945777noreply@blogger.com
