Jack, Wishing you all of the very best that life has to offer. Yes, there is a "happily ever after". If you continue to be patient, it will happen for you as well.
This chapter in your life is almost completed. It's now time to think about turning the page in your life's book and begin looking ahead.
We are always here and, of course, you have my email address as well, if you want to remain in touch.
Again, all the best to you and your family!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Jack, I'll miss you and I don't even know you. As long as I've been here I've found wisdom in your posts. Although you'll be away your advice will be here for us. Best wishes for many happy and successful tomorrows.

You really did give back to the board. I do hope you will visit. I do from time to time. But if you feel the need to move on then good for you. It might just be time to leave this part of your life behind. Just always look forward. I am so happy for you. You have mastered dbing and so you will be okay from now on.
I know I missed Jack's bday this year so happy belated bday Jack. But I think you have the same bday as my neice.
I will come and see those northern lights one day before they leave for Sibera.
Did they? If they did, it was because they strove for it, they always worked to be better and understood and communicated their needs wants and dreams to their loved one.
Last night while watching Taiko drummers from Japan, my wife curled into me and thanked me for the surprise with a kiss.
And I realized that I had to struggle to remember the pain of this.
I remember writhing on the ground tearing handfuls of grass up when I ruptured my knee, but the pain?
Like this I can remember what I did, but not how the pain felt. I understand what you are going through but not the pain or struggle anymore.
I no longer get mad when I think of my wife and the OM…a little sad still, but even that is faded and frayed.
I’m out of touch to be offering advice.
Selfishly, I am glad of being out of touch…I remember that the pain sucks, I know enough not to want it again.
Trying to remember the pain, and offering perspectives from my past, I wonder if it is hampering my present; sometimes it does.
I struggle to remember the ideas that got me through, but several stand out.
Patience.
Be patient.
You can do this one day at a time.
Become the person you want to see in the mirror.
For those who have it, of course you can drop me a line.
I’m not saying goodbye, just goodbye for now.
I wouldn’t be here if not for my friends here, one and all, too numerous to list and I’m too stupid to get every one of you down on this thread, so rather than accidentally leave someone out, you know who you are.
Jack / Jeff
I think have crossed over to the successful side of this, offers hope to so man, and makes you a perfect person to be giving advice.

So happy for you and your wife. You are an honest, caring, giving man, a right to the point kind of guy and your wife is fortunate to have you in her life. Thanks for the help.
It was nice to meet a fellow former Coastie and read your posts. Hope to see you around but understand if you can't. Enjoy your life.....you earned it. Thanks for the help you have given me
