Maylie speaks absolute wisdom.
I feared how I'd feel if I did nothing---and the worst happened.
Well,it did.What did I feel? Not nearly as much as I'd feared.I did
my best.It wasn't my battle.It wasn't my life.My life was going great.
And to the SR Gods I humbly submit Maylie's passage piece,to whit:
"The best closure you are going to get is to put her in your past
and just work on yourself. Keep posting on here, reading
other people's stories, and find something in your life that makes you happy
whether it is painting, going to school, running, volunteering,
etc. You can't make her appreciate her life, but you sure as
hell can make sure you appreciate yours!"
.......as by far the best SR missive of 2013
