My 31st birthday is this week. On Saturday. February 14th. Valentine’s Day every year, like it or not, for better or for worse.

Such a raw and emotional post. Well-written, and I'm so sorry for both of you that you're going through this.

Thank you for your kind words, and thank you so much for reading.

I have amazing friends and family propping me up, but they are all long-distance, and there is nothing like a good, hard hug to squeeze you back into a decent state of mind.

Well, consider me someone who thought YOU would miss the hanky panky, too.

But seriously...as always, you do a good job with a tough entry and I read every word of it and felt like I could understand your pain/confusion.

Thank you, SHT :)

And I'm not saying I don't miss the lovin' - but it isn't what I miss most.

Remember, I am in town, and I'm always available for hugs. There are times when I need them too, especially since Hubster's been gone for so long.

Thank you so much, Deza!

We have talked about getting together before - we really ought to try to find the time to do it!

Difficult piece to write. I've been where you are now, and it's not easy. It never is.

Thank you - it was tough. I sat here for four hours trying to get it all out.
