Suze:
P.S. I see that Dee put up some links in a recent post which described breathing and meditation exercises. Maybe those would help. And if you are crying don't be afraid to water your sorrows with your tears. Howl! If necessary, as did King Lear when he thought he had lost Cordelia:
"Howl, howl, howl, howl! Oh, you are men of stones.
Had I your tongues and eyes, I’d use them so
That heaven’s vault should crack...!"
Yes, Howl and then try to be content, at least a little bit. And sleep "which knits up the ravelled sleeve of care".
Mr. little dog, Boswell, sends you a friendly sniff and a tail wag. Perhaps we all shall meet some day.
Fondly to you and Nick

Please, everyone, I want you to know in case you do not already, what Suze has just had to do, because she needs all of our support more than ever now.
Suze has just cut away and abandoned her *ENTIRE* life, managing to save only a few scraps to send forward into our shared future.
She has just had to go through all her memories, both treasured and painful, and leave everything behind. And not only that, the way she had to leave them made her feel like a horrible person.
She did this while frighteningly sick and exhausted, with her sisters playing havoc on her emotions, and with a fiance who was not able to get his head together enough to help. As a result she feels beaten, broken, exhausted, miserable, and very, very down on herself.
Without the support all of us have given her up to now, there is no way she could have done this at all. But now she is in deep emotional pain, and she needs every scrap of love to help her through this.
You are loved so much by so many people Suze. You are a bright shining light in the darkness. You are a beautiful person with a heart of pure love. This has been enough pain and hardship, It is time to move forward into a future filled with love and joy.
I love you, now and forever and always ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Thank you my beautiful man.
So so much. ♥
I almost didn't make it ~ as you know.
That was most definitely the toughest 24 hours of my life.
Maybe 36 hours....it's hard to remember it all now.
Mostly, I don't want to.
I only want to remember that we came through it.
I came out of this alive because you saved me.
And no, I am not exaggerating guys ~ not one iota.

........with you in heart nd spirit!
God Travels.
With you in heart and spirit!
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us

Workin' together day to day
Together

And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow

You're all too young to remember this but when I was a small kid there was an old "silent" movie, back in the Lillian Gish days, called "The Perils of Pauline". Pauline was of course beautiful and young and somehow would get herself in difficulty, like being tied to a railroad track by some mustache twirling villain. And her handsome boyfriend would then save her just in time since the locomotive was coming down the track. So, Suze, also young and beautiful, you say Nick saved you just in time! Let's then all gather around and, like Lillian Gish, clap our hands in delight and relief, for Suze has been saved by Nick, just in time....!

I'm so sorry that preparing for your new life has been filled with so much stress. Family stress, housing stress, deadlines, decisions...I can just imagine! It is hard to make stay-or-go decisions about belongings when we associate so many memories and feelings to things--I know I do. And I know that grief or guilt at having to let some things go is very real. And I'm just so sorry you have to go through that when this should be nothing but a completely joyous time.
I may be misunderstanding, but it sounds as though certain family members are less than thrilled at this new life you are embarking on...and that is such a shame. I hope you can let their reactions be just that...their's. You are doing something wonderful with your life, and you have no reason to feel guilty or bad about that
It's night time where you are now, so I hope you will be getting some much-needed rest tonight.
When does your flight leave? Friday? Saturday? I hope that you can try to focus on what it will be like once you finally land in Ohio!!
