Cold as a well diggers ass and cold at home.  There was a song once GOT NO REASON NOW FOR GOING HOME< ALL MY REASON NOW, SHE IS GONE.  I'm sure some of you remember it. That is the way I spend most of my waking days now I dont want to go home there is nothing there but emptiness.  My son stays with me a great deal and his older brothers visit frequently it is there home, yet for me it is torment. So many have advised me to get on with life, find another, live life to the fullest, if only I had the courage, the brain , the heart,  I am hopelessly lost in the land of OZZ.  Everything I had believed in for the past 15yrs has turned out to be more or less a lie,  and I'm  not sure I can let myself be deceived again. Now I know not all of it was lies there were alot of good things and times and I remember them vividly, I was told by a counselor that you hold on to the bad moments cause they are easier to remember, yet I have tried to block them out and hold on to the good, guess that is why it's so hard for me to let go.  Valentines is coming and to my friends here at DS I will remember you all esspecially if I have your Email.  And i will remember her too,  she is gone from our home yet she will never leave my heart.  She never liked winter It hurt her back so much and it was always my favorite. I enjoyed holding her close and at night she often referred to me as her personal heater, She is gone and now I think winter maybe the most miserable time of year. Summer was her fav, and my most despised now I long for summer , guess so I can stay out of the house.  Trying to figure out what to do with myself,  could be a drunk ,I've had practice at that years ago.  I could push myself into my work so deeply that once again i burn the candle at both ends, yet I blame that for part of our split.  Maybe a hermit,  alone no one depending on me, depending on no one,  after all i've been accused of being a crab more than once in my life,  Ive changed a great deal since we started having probs,  my boys all say for the better and I do appreciate how close we have all become, yet the void in my life is so vast,  how I long to hold her, to kiss her to hear her breathe to rub her back to sit in our PJs till noon just sippin coffee and talkin, I miss her more all the time and with the big VDAY just around the corner I wander does she miss me at all or am I gone from her in every way,, sorry so gloomy I just have to get it out someway and she is not here to talk to

I know how you feel Randy. We remember the good times but it seems like all they want to do is cling to the bad... it helps them do what they are doing... moving on. I see Valentine\'s Day around the corner too and it is a very strong reminder to me. It is the date on our marriage license... February 14. I wonder if he remembers it because I know he doesn\'t care. He has moved on with someone else and left his wife and little girls in the past. Being at home is another problem for me too, but I have to be here, it is my girls\' home. I, too, long for someone to talk to...someone to sit on the patio with and watch the birds play in the yard. Memories can destroy us because our minds use them to make us think that we can never be happy again... or we can never have what we once had. But the truth is that we can be happier and have more than we had before. I choose to believe that my life will be better and that I will be happy. You should choose this too!!! Yes, it hurts... it hurts like hell!!! But why should we condemn ourselves to misery when we have just as much right to be happy as anyone??? Don\'t allow yourself to be sucked into the \"den of defeat\"! Tell yourself that, with time, things will be ok. You will make it through and you will be happy... maybe even happier than you have ever been!!! It is ok for us to have the memories, but now it is time to make new memories. Love is the universal language... well, so is PAIN. We all suffer pain during our lifetime... everyone of us knows the agony of rejection and the heartache from disappointment. Choose today to determine in your mind to not allow this pain to control you. Sure, it will affect you, but don\'t allow it to consume you. I choose to look for a brighter day...how about you my friend? Let\'s look to the future in a positive way, knowing that the road to happiness can sometimes be a bumpy one. I\'m ready for the rough ride...how about you??? Join me!!!!
