Toni--I completely understand that (re: not being able to keep things). I guess that could very well be the case. She lives with her parents (who hate me) so she didn't have anything actually hung up. As far as I can remember it was just strewn about her bedroom. I agree though that eventually it will be regretting (which is why I don't throw anything away). Pictures are precious....Irreplaceable.
I guess it ended for many reasons, which of course I am to blame for...I can admit that. Even if we did talk again, I know it wouldn't be the same. (We spent literally every single day together from 5pm-10pm and Friday-Sunday together for 8 years). But I concur, I must pull myself together and move past this and accept the reality.
I'm fairly pulled together, but don't know if I can give myself credit.

Thank you, Everyone. I truly appreciate it.
