[Standing Strong]

Time to close out this thread with a *BANG*!!!!

The day finally came!!!! The SHOWDOWN!!!!

I've had a funny feeling the last couple days, that uncomfortable "something is coming" feeling.
Well wouldn't you know it...... the intuition is still there. Still strong.
I had asked W a few times yesterday and the day before "Are you ok?".... and the same response "Yes I'm fine" (which I can tell is NOT the truth). So I ask again "You're SURE you're ok?"..... and again "Yes I'm ok, just tired". Uh huh. OK.
Then she opens up a little, and its like pulling teeth.

So last night, went to bed..... and something was up. Normally I fall asleep instantly, but not that night, I was alert..... and its 11:30 or so. W is restless, and sniffling. "Are you ok?.... "Yes I'm ok"...... "Are you crying?"...... yes, maybe a little.

And so begins an R talk unlike any before...... and the 1st in a very long time.
This time it was something new, I was on the offensive...... my wait finally over, she is out of crisis, and now is the reckoning.... seven years after breakdown.

I'll put all the fireworks in my new thread tonight.
This answering is going to be a process, and I made it very clear - there will be no forward until my questions are answered, the prime one ultimately being "What's left?".

At last..... the beginning of the end is here!!!!
Which way will it go?

This is the finish line of MLC.
The race is over. Now will there be two winners, or one?

Always wondered what would bring on this part. Now it's here. Finally.......
