| Hey V,
I hate it when you get serious. The separating stuff sucks but, when you close a door or a chapter in life, you open another. With the new chapter you can write a new life full of whatever you'd like and make it better. Conquering tough times makes one stronger. Thirty years ago I walked away from my family. Hardest decision I ever made in my life but, my kids survived and a few years later each told me it was the best thing I could have done. Nine years of single life, having to "make it" on my own, delving deep into self help taught me who I really was and what I really wanted in life. Then, my true soul mate came into my life. Now, twenty plus years later, Sue and I are still giddy about our life together. Good things can happen but it will depend on the path you take V. Make good decisions, my friend.
I know I speak for many here at TR, we will miss your wit, wisdom and smart @ss know-it-all attitude but, there will be no tears shed at this parting because it's not death that keeps us apart only time and money. Time will pass, money will come and that Mac will bring you back to us, soon we hope.
I personally love you V! Get your life back together and get back here.
Remember our motto..."One for all and all for one".
Dick
