I missed your new thread because I never saw your old one lock. I thought you had just gone major dark on your thread.
Caught up now and still lurking.
Keep on the high road. Sometimes the road is lonely, but there are a lot fewer potholes along the way. Time marches on whether we like it or not, and you will be with your kids again sooner than you think.
25, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New year and a more upbeat celebration. There is also shavuot which is the celebration of Moses receiving the ten commandments on Mt. Sinai....
Other than that we celebrate coming through times of trial and tribulation in our holidays....
FIB, Happy Chanukah buddy. I have my kids this year, but it is still the same feelings. We have always celebrated both Holidays as my wife was Baptist. Not having your family intact is difficult either way my friend. As crazy as it sounds I cried tonight as my kids opened their gifts, I am sad that their mother does not get to share in this the way we always have.... They don't deserve this......
I hope you can take advantage of your time and try and do something for yourself my friend.
A blessed holiday season to you and your family my friend.
It is a time for anticipating the great things that life has in store for each of us in the coming year. I know that for you my friend, this will be the year that brings an end to the feelings of being stuck in place.
God's richest blessings to a man I am proud to call a friend.
Blessings,
Bill

Hey FIB, thinking about you. Let's make 2009 the year that all of us find ourselves in a better place. The way I look at it, it cant be worse than this last year, ya know?
I owe you an apology. I've been thinking about my last couple of posts to you, and I realize that although I was trying to help, I forgot about where you are on this journey. I was writing from my own perspective, as someone who has been physically separated for just over 3 years, and officially divorced for a couple of weeks. {Merry Christmas! :p }
The emotional distancing on XH's part began well before that, but my own emotional distance was much more recent. I didn't take this into account, and consequently, my compassion was quite lacking.
I really do hope that 2009 will be better for you. I'd say "It can only get better," but from my own experience, you never know. So I'll just say that I continue to think of you, pray for you, and admire you. Not because your perfect, but because you do your best - and your best is pretty darn good!
Love to you and your kids, Nicola
