Honestly, I had no idea that's how other's saw me, but it feels really amazing to know that you did. I'm guessing, you may not realize you had the same impact on me. It was a hectic time for both of us in many ways. We were mutually lucky to have one another, even if we may not have known it at the time.
I've been following your posts closely, and I'm struck by the strength you've shown and am honestly moved by your vulnerability. Looking back, I realize I had no idea what you were carrying internally, but I want you to know that your "light" is what is remember most by me and my family. We speak of you fondly and always, always with a smile. Whether we were cooking, chatting, or just visiting there was always such a sense of freedom and joy in your presence. I am genuinely happy that you are finding peace within yourself and can finally bask in your own sunshine and warmth. Keep shining my friend... Love BJ
I don't know if you saw it, but I just realized that when I commented on this, somehow it didn't end up in the right place. Basically, I ended up commenting on my own comment. Yikes. Some days I amaze myself. Hahah!
If you didn't see it and you had any feelings because of it, I apologize. This link should take you directly to it, but let me know if it doesn't and you can't find it.
My initial thought is to continue the practice, but adapt it to being alone. So maybe you could have an escape plan for different scenarios. That way you don't really have to think about it, you can just implement one of the plans and GTFO.

Love this. But what do you do when hes not around?
Still working on that one. Got any suggestions?
