LM,

Welcome back, and congratulations. I agree love does not "heal" you need to heal to find love. I suspect you will/have found a keeper. Keep us updated, you have my deepest wishes for your happiness.

God Bless,

Thank you for all of the kind words and welcome back wishes. As I sit here on call tonight with a deafly silent pager clipped to my scrubs, I find myslef purposely coming to this site to read the stories and reflect on my own life when I was once where many of you are.

So damn sad to see the names change, but the stories stay the same....

Some people just don't get it, they don't get it that they don't get it.

I had the right to remain silent.......but I didn't have the ability.

Well, glad your pager isn't sounding. You can get a little break.

You deserve a good life and a woman that will appreciate you. Even though you didn't "do" the MB program, I think you have the tools to have a wonderful marriage.

And children- I debated for a long time whether or not to have kids. Had my first at 36 and second at 39. But that was the best decision I ever made! They will turn your life upside down and you will never know how you made it this many years without them.

And MEDC, you need to add that you and I and a few others are keeping up the safe sex mantra.

Lem,

Congrats and all the best to you and your almost Mrs Lem. I remember that a long time ago you expressed the sentiment that while others thought you lucky, your definition of luck was having a family of your own and that you would gladly have given up everything in exchange.

Dreams do come true.

Hi Lem,

Didn't get a chance to say that the other day when you dropped in. Always nice to see the voice of reason around here. Good luck with your future plans. I would venture to say that you are armed with lots more knowledge this time around. Best wishes to you and the lucky bride to be.

Wait a minute, I resemble that. I was LM's poster boy for HPV. blush

All Blessings,
Jerry
