To All Oldtimers
I haven’t even looked at this site for almost a year and lo and behold I see this thread to which most of the people who helped me immensely over a period of two years are mentioned.
It certainly is nice to see that many of you are doing well and to those who have not been as successful, I send my heartfelt sympathies.
For an update, if any one even remembers my situation, we have made a remarkable recovery. I have been retired for over 10 months now (I highly recommend it) and W is retiring in a couple of months. We have bought the house of our dreams in NC and are in the process of selling the home in which we have lived for the past 35 years. I must admit that we both have mixed emotions about leaving all of the good memories and friends but it is time to move on. Our new house is on the water with a boat slip, community pool and tennis courts but best of all there is no traffic to fight!!
Our grandson has proved to be a marvel both in school and at home. His activities do take up much of his time and we don’t see him as much as we would like, but like all grandchildren they are destined to drift away as they get older.
Our granddaughter is the current light of my life since I am privileged to baby-sit for her at least once a week and I so look forward to those precious hours. The joy for me is overwhelming sometimes. W is both happy for me and jealous of me since she is working when the granddaughter visits. W does get to see her occasionally and it seems that W smiles an awful lot when they are together.
Our two sons are now willingly communicating with their mother and things are now much less tense. I feel like we are a whole family again at long last. It is wonderful to hear them tell their mother that they love her at the end of each conversation.
Again it is good to hear about all of you.
God Bless
ULA

ULA~
Just going to quickly jump in here on this post, even though I'm not an "old-timer". Just wanted to tell you that indeed, your dear friends on here remember you and your story. Many of them referenced you and your story to me while trying to help me. They referenced you when I first came to these boards in 03/03, and again recently when I posted the question re. telling the OC. Hearing your story not only touched me, but made quite an impression on me, and helped me in my questioning too!!
I immediately recognized your name this morning. I am so happy to hear how things are going for you, your W, marriage, and family. It was a lift for me to hear how your sons are finding forgiveness and love for their mother.
Well, I hope you got to read this, and that you will visit here more often.
