Hey CANDC. I thought I'd responded to your post but I guess I didn't. I know I intended to. Thank you for your kind words. I am doing better. That clown will always be in my memory. But I also know in my heart, that leaving our friendship was the most healthy thing I could do for myself.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. Thats kind of like me n my dad. We don't see eye to eye on everything (he likes to drink, I don't want him to). Though things have gotten better since I moved out. Anyway, thank you for sharing what you shared with me. I can understand feeling like a part of you died when he died, too. I am glad that time has been healing for you. Thank you again.
