      First and foremost are my kids - the light in my life. I love to read romance novels - sad huh!! I like walks on the beach, warm summer nights, movies, sleeping in and eating breakfast out.

      Hey my friend, are you in Florida? If you get this let me know. Maybe I can run over to Orlando and meet you for lunch one day this weekend. Hope I have not missed you.

      From sunshine5 July 22

      Hey, So great to hear from you. I would love to visit if at all possible even for a day. The kids start school here on the 18th and the 22nd is my daughter's 18th birthday. I will see what I can do. Orlando is only about a 2.5 hour drive. If we can not get over there want to come here?!! The beach is 5 minutes from the house. I think you have my phone number if not message me and maybe we can figure it out. I would so like to meet the person I feel as like I already know and consider my friend! Thanks for the birthday wishes. Love, Meg

    • Close Life After Divorce

      I was married for 20 years and my divorce was final on April 3, 2009. I never saw it coming and OW was involved. I have come a long way but I still feel like I'm in a state of disbelief that he actually did this. I have been on DS - the 20 Years group since June 2008.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      I have been on Celexa since July 2008. It has helped me cope tremendously. I am just now weaning myself off.
