i just wanted to say good thread....
for me, i never had a self esteem issue on "men"...i was fortunate to have the love of my life for a short time (until his sudden passing). I have his 2 beautiful children and that for now, is what keeps me going...but i have learned i am CONTENT right now, on being alone and right now? thats ok by me....he will come(if ever) if the my HP wants him in my life....
but for now? i am looking/booking my next vacation trip with my kids to Punta Cana...
