Myzen, Sherry 13, and Fayerody, thank you so much for sharing these authentic pieces of your hearts and lives with me. I am especially touched, Sherry, by all the nice things you wrote about me. Aw shucks.

Fayerody -- I had exactly that experience with a friend. We were driving someplace, and the man who was the love of her life passed us driving another car. "Pull onto a side street" she said and burst into hysterical tears.

It took a long time before she could stop gasping for breath and explain the situation to me. I'm glad you reminded me -- and Myzen too -- that these wounds are deep and can take a long time to heal, or at least wallpaper over so we can get on with life. And that I am not alone in this experience.

Thanks so much, everyone.
