(Perhaps I am too wrapped up in ME?!) I'm sorry to hear about your break-up, but very happy for you that you made the tough decision to move on and start over. I was there, and I know how difficult it is, but I also know the weight that is lifted when you make the choice to leave. Don't you feel lighter now? Fly, Greg, fly... We'll be here to hear the wind through your wings.dec0r8orhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274925937977136327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-17967365008163696982008-09-11T21:27:00.000-04:002008-09-11T21:27:00.000-04:00Greg stay strong, I hope things get betterGreg stay strong, I hope things get betterWonder Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723949771552274515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-85729411265535485702008-09-09T12:49:00.000-04:002008-09-09T12:49:00.000-04:00I am sorry that you had to deal with that drama at...I am sorry that you had to deal with that drama at the end, but, glad that it was nothing worse.
