Duffster that is an absolute tragic story... I had heard someone lost a limb, my heart is broke for that little family...

Hey all,
A rather productive day all in all, quite a bit of dissertation work done. To the Americans here, if I ever have to study anything to do with Massachusetts in the Civil War again I may secede from reading for evermore!
Bagged myself a new phone too. Dropped my last iPhone in the bath, and as you can imagine, it didn't do it much good.
Black i'm so glad to hear your loved ones got out okay. It really makes you sit and reconsider how big your problems really are when acts like this happen. Can't imagine the emotion felt by the people who had to experience that first hand. Too cruel.

Toots and BP, I'm also in the mist of a relocation... not across the pond, but the farthest I've ever considered moving from my family to be with my Beau.
It's challenging and hard to make the decision cause there is no way to know how it will end up. It's just one of those things you just have to leap at in Life.. there is no other way to 'test' it. So both of you talking about your experience is helping me...
And Toots, I have also just moved home after 13 years 2 years ago. The relocation was very hard and I experienced everything you described: I left all my friends, my business, my relationship and had a very hard loss of identity. I tried to root here, build and date again, only to come home one day to find my boyfriend committed suicide on our couch.
So I think I'm not suppose to root here. Life has made this a pit stop and all roads are leading to the next location.
It's just been a little rocky detour...

To all
Thanks Phebe for sharing that, when I read some of you guys heart-wrenching happenings that have occured in your life I realise just how lucky I have been and for that feel blessed.
To my eyes you are all heroes and the fact that most of you are still here, and remaining strong is hugely inspirational to me and for that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks Shoes, I am feeling better. Something is still going on in there, but its good to know it's not a lung or a kidney falling out if you know what I mean.
By the by, I really enjoy your posts, girlfriend.

Thank you everyone. I'm sorry I put you all on the spot like that. It's heavy, maybe too heavy, and I was writing matter-of-factly.
It's a journey.... One we are all on individually, yet together.
I have no idea why that became part of my journey, but I trust and have faith in Life that it became part of my soul for a reason...
And now I'm here. The part of my journey where I'm confronting my relationship with alcohol... and I have found all of you.
It's all good.

Phebe, so sorry for what you went through! I'm glad you felt safe enough to share that with us. For all the joking around we do (and that's healthy!), we all have our real issues and it can be so hard to open up about them. Good on you for having the courage to share that.
