I'm still feakin here
Well now that my life is returning to something that might be considered normal, I feel I can return and while I'm at it expalin why I left temporarily.
I left because I wasn't feeling good about some of the people here were getting quite disrespectful if not out right rude. This seems to have passed.
Another reason I left was unexpected. Awhile ago (maybe a month) I started a thread entitled "What do I say, What do I do", regarding my former wife and her diagnosis with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. Well, treatment didn't go well. At the end of last month, at the age of 44, my former wife lost her fight. I was called in by our daughter and my former wife's current husband, to act as her advocate in the health care system.
I have never seen anyone with such fight and determination pass with such dignity. The one's by her side were a sister and our daughter. My daughter is an amazing young woman of 22. In the few private times during the whole ordeal, she let herself breakdown. In public she was as solid as anyone could be.
My former wife's passing hit me harder than I expected. Somewhere it dawned on me that she had given me the greatest gift in the birth of our daughter. There really is no greater gift.Another reason it hit was this was someone who was close to me not only emotionally but also my own age.
Kind of makes mortality hit you in the face.
In the past 10 months me and my partner have lost his mother this past October, his dad this June and my former wife the end of last month. Right now, we're finally started to get on with life. Kinda.
So there it is guys and gals.
So if I get a bit snippy or pompous or a little over sensitive.....just slap me up side the head.
