Dearest ER Forum members,
It's been a really long time that I have not visited our ER Forum. My best friend passed away 6 months after I ERd. We saw each other daily for 27 years. Shared countless meals and vacations and long meaningful discussions about life, philosophy, spirituality, …. We meditated and did yoga together.
Our very old family dog also passed away after I ERd. I had hoped that in ER I could spend more time with her. Walking really slowly because she was really old and had weak legs! But only months after I ERd, she had liver failure and did not make it.
My friend and I had planned to do more fun things together after I ERd but we did not get around to doing any of it yet and there I was looking over my friend's newly dug grave. Life is so strange. Many things happen exactly as we planned while other things don't. I know that I am not making any sense. Just sharing random thoughts and feelings with you all. Like I wrote, I've not been in touch for so long. Grief does strange things to us.
I was so happy before that. Then after these losses, I became slightly confused and mildly depressed.
April 1 marks the one year anniversary of ER.
Financially everything is going just fine.
I miss our Forum and am ready to log back in and participate in our wonderful community again.
I have to go read so many threads now to catch myself up on what's been happening around here.
Have a great day All, Enjoy this lovely Spring weather.
