I had logged off last night before I read many of your responses on here...- I really do appreciate the kindness of taking the time to share some uplifting thoughts.

& I know everyone is right... I definitely have not closed my heart off to the 'want' for another 'love' in my life ((or I wouldn't be on here at all)) -- it's just not something I've ever experienced before. You know?

Most relationships end because two people break up for whatever reason -- there is always pain with that kind of ending, but eventually, if you truly care about the other person, you really just hope for them to be happy in their life - and you move on. It's very different knowing someone is really just gone. It's a hard feeling to get used to -- there are still many days I hear a noise outside and expect to see him walking in the door, and many nights I wake up instinctively reaching across the bed thinking he will be there.

Has definitely taught me MANY lessons, that's for sure.... -- and taught me what true pain is, and to never waste tears on silly disappointments that happen to everyone in our lives.

Time is so precious, -- I do know, no matter what kind of 'relationship' I'm ever in again, I'll never forget to appreciate all the beauty surrounding me every single day I'm alive.

Most take that for granted..., it's simply not possible to for me to. & I'm so grateful for that.

He was a wonderful man, and he gave me that gift... not only of unconditional love, but of really 'living life'...

How lucky I was...

thanks again for all messages, and for allowing your heart, even for just a minute, to reach out to mine. Little things like that are taken for granted by many, but not by me -- sincerely, thank you.
