Sorry I didn't chat with you last night. I was just tired...needed to sleep and have some time to myself. I read for awhile which was nice and just went to bed early.

I'm going to admit this has been hard for me. I know, I know...not as hard as what you're going through...I DO understand that. But it has been hard for me, too. Do you remember the one night when I didn't call you back because I figured you were asleep and I didn't want to awake you? Remember how you called me first thing in the morning and chastised me for not calling...remember how you felt all night sort of waiting for me to call...that's how its felt for weeks for me. Is it DOABLE and LIVEABLE...YES. Do I do it willingly and lovingly for you...YES. But its still hard. I guess I wanted you to know that. It may not be something you understand or can hear right now but one day I hope you do...whether we are together or not.

We have been SOOO close for 3 years. The changes have been overwhelming to both of us...in different ways, yes, but overwhelming nonetheless. We are both struggling in our own ways. I am learning to be more comfortable with the uncertainty...learning to just live with it and not resist it. We both know that's my achilles heel, right? I'm learning a lot about my own strengths and my ability to just continue onward despite all of my own upheaval and all the changes I have in my life beyond what has happened to you.

I had a good therapy session yesterday...still have lots of work to do but it was good...very good!

So how was YOUR week...? Two weeks done now...WHEW. 6 weeks post-stroke...how are you feeling? I'm hoping you are starting to feel a bit more clarity. I can't wait to hear what you've been working on...I'm very excited to know what's going on!!

Anyway...I'm going to run because I have bills to pay and it is the beginning of Labor Day weekend so I want to spend time with the kids. I'll chat with you tonight!!

I love you...Have a great day and I'm thinking of you!!
