Good for you Zoso! And if you run into her again?
As I said to my wife over email a short time later, one of the good things to come out of that was I took a nearly 4 year break then ended when my wife and I got together. That gave me time to really get my head screwed on right. What I have with my wife is something I wouldn't trade for anything.
Yup, another of those "strangely wrapped gifts" that comes from our adversity and pain, that we only see in hindsight after it appears.
Your life is better today because of what you went through back in the day.
My life today is better because of the pain I walked through with my son, the strangely wrapped gift that I call "life" would not be so good today if it hadn't been so bad back then.
So give your wife a hug from "that Canadian broad" and tell her that even though she is the finest gift that came of your recovery, you will never hear me refer to her as a "trophy" wife, nope, ain't gonna say it., but she sounds like one heck of a nice prize.
