I was writing to a clse friend here on Cs, and I am moved to make a thread about it.
I had to travel today, for a job fuction. It was a more than two hour trip which also happened to be in the vincinity of My Early Newly Wedded Life. I am a beliver that G-d has a purpose for us being where we are in life, places, times, etc.
Afterwards, I travelled the area, such shocks!!! Most all the farms are gone and huge palatial houses stand in the middle of fields we tilled. I ended up in the Family Church attending Mass, saw some members of His family.
Then, I went to the Church, where my Husband and I were Married and where He and his youngest Brother, a Doctor, {John was an EEAP, we met on the Rifle Team and were in the same EEAP Program @ University}, is buried, as are Grammpa/Gramma.
I told Him and all of them I am moving from Ohio to New York. His Parents moved to Colorado about ~ 2 years ago according to Uncle Ralph.
I also said Goodbye, that I might stop one last time on the way to Rochester, New York,(this Summer, I hope if the $$$ comes together}, to say a final, permanent goodbye, b/c I feel that once I get up to New York, I will most likely never return to Ohio.
But, that it is my turn to have life. A full Life after all the surgeries and heart break I have had. It is now my turn to have the things, He did, now that I am Medically stable.
After a life of many Medical Problems and 15+ Surgeries, since I was a Premie Newborn who's Twin Brother did not make it.
Even though, I still am facing just two more surgeries, things are finally coming together, so now I can finally Hope and reach for the normal things in life and feel that I now have somthing to offer a Guy other than Debt and sitting in a surgery waiting room.
I told Him I still Loved Him and I forgive Him for the hurt He caused. I asked him for His forgivness for the hurt I caused, as well, B/c, you know, it takes two to Tango. Also, that we are able to finally forgive ourselves, and have G-d's Perfect Peace, as well.
I told Him I was ready to find a new Mate. That I need to have someone to share the burdens with. I have been alone for 32 years now, and I no longer wish to be alone.
I asked His Blessing and His Prayers to G-d to finally prosper finacially and for a good, long life filled with a New, Loving Husband, Children and finishing my Education, so I could Serve in G-d's purpose in creating me, that I have always felt a calling to do: to Teach on the University Level.
I cried. . . ALOT, ALOOOOOTTTT. I am surprised at how much I did cry. I guess some very large part of me had not been able to grieve b/c I had other issues to work through with my health, saving my life then fighting for, saving and preserving my fertility, over all thse years. As well as, the every day worries of survival: place to live, food, bills, etc.
However, I finally have grieved for all that we lost due to his drug/alcohol problems, my medical problems, both of our Infertility problems, our schooling, and our youthful inablity to handle it all, b/c we were in our Twenties. I, now, realise from participating in CS forums, that we had ALOT to face as a Young Couple.
Many Couples end up in our boat after many years together, growing old and having these issues come gradually with life changes, not suddenly, simultaneously and in multiple areas, as we did. In retrospect to me, now, it is not that surprising that our Marriage did not survive this, very few Young Marriages would.
I did not realise any of this until recently in participation in the forums. But in sharing with CS, I was able to see insights that I could not see before.
I kissed his gravestone, through my tears and even though, I cried on the more than two hour drive home, it is a much easier cry and a vastly different pain.
Also, funny as it is to say it, I can feel Him beside me, His arm around me, as I type this. Earlier, I heard his voice, loud and clear when I stopped @ a gas station on the way back to wash my face. He said:
"Beautiful, Vivid, Green Eyes".
Which was one of His deepest heartfelt ways of talking to me. But instead of it hurting, it brought comfort, a flood of warmth, relief and Hope.
I realise in typing this email, that I need to use part of it to make a thread and share it with CS to bring someone out there that needs this hope and comfort.
Something tells me there is someone that needs to read these words, {name of whom I was writting Deleted, out of respect}.

Hopefully we grow as we move along.
I have had a serious thought for the owner/s of C.S. to contemplate - maybe a resident schycologist ( i have no idea how to spell the word so therefore i can't look it up - catch 22!) - not an agony aunt - would be a nice pay back to the "community".
I see a desparate need for it.
Someone who could maybe do a weekly contribution on life issues?
