Not to ignore what everyone else was commenting on but I just read some earlier posts. My heart goes out to you both, Ric and Ray. I’ve been there, I know how it feels.
Thank you. I’ve tried to think about it as positively as I can, and that helps a lot. I got to spend time with her and say goodbye to her right before I left on holidays, and we were at a very positive point in our relationship. I made a real effort to spend time with friends this year, so I was able to get to know her, and be with her about as much as I could have. If I hadn’t made that a priority, I would be feeling a lot of regret, and that would have made this that much harder to deal with.
