I really like that. Thanks for wording it so simply and concisely…I've tried finding a way to describe this exact thing, but fail every time. [Granted, I didn't actually go through with the marriage I had in the works, but the general feeling is the same.]
Thank you!

Faith without works is dead. I’m happy to read you walked the painful but essential path!

It’s strange how we tuck away those painful periods until we’re ready to reflect on them and the lessons learned. I am glad that you healed, grew, learned and found love again.

I can’t say I am happy for any pain and suffering you went through, but I can’t help but feel things had to happen the way they did for both of us for us to find each other.

“It was difficult to admit that I had failed at the very decision I’d been taught was the most important one I’d ever make.”

life can be like that.

oh, I liked the bouncing back part, too.

I’m so grateful you were ready for Whim when you two met.
