Thanks, Samantha
I sure could use a good party right about now. The borrowed computer has been acting up big time and thrown a temporary monkey wrench in my blogging. But I seem to have it working right for the time being. So I'm ready to celebrate. I'll let you know the time and place.

Thanks, desert_dreamer
You're right, of course. My grandchildren, and my son, make everything endurable and worthwhile. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to your comment, especially since you're a relatively new blogger. The borrowed computer has been making life difficult for me for several days and mostly kept me off Blogit. I'll stop by to visit soon. I hope you're enjoying the neighborhood, and that you'll have a long and pleasant stay.

Hi, jollyjeff
It is indeed amazing that writing has so much therapeutic power. Although I'm not looking these days, I have to say going through it all was worth it because I ended up with a fine son and four wonderful grandchildren. I'd never change a thing in my past just because of them.

Thank you, Sira
Your lovely comment does indeed make me feel better. Now, as I told Shan, if my phone line stays intact and my computer half-way cooperates, I'll stop by and visit for a while soon.

Thanks, Sam
I have found ones who make the pain go away. My precious little granddaughter and three fine grandsons, courtesy of my son and daughter-in-law, keep me pretty happy these days. I'm not really looking for anyone else to further complicate my life.

Thank you, Shan
I appreciate your thoughtful comment and the nice things you said about me. I do plan to visit you in the near future, intact phone lines and balky computer permitting.

Oh my
I totally agree... letting go is so hard especially when you've worked for something for so long. But in turn relationships are always about both parties leaning forward (50/50) and I suppose now by writing it all down you get to analyze it and maybe even make the right decision first. I know i don't know you but I am very proud of your feats you sound like a really caring man :)
Love Shan, visit me anytime

Thanks, TAPS.
I'm pleased you understand, and sorry that you've gone through something similar. As long as I'm writing I'm able to get the bad out and refocus on the good memories. My only regret is not being able to share those with her. But I have my son and his family to share them with.

This is sad, notapoet. I'm glad that you write about it. Writing really does help. I know, I've been writing about those things for four years now on Blogit and they don't seem so bad anymore.
