"Just got lost but we both found we need this more than ever"
There's a really good chance I wouldn't have posted here again had I not logged into my old e-mail address on a whim and spotted that two people had taken the time to respond to the entries that I posted here of late. Many, many thanks to you both, there's nothing quite like the generosity of strangers at the darker moments in one's life. However, thankfully, my lady and I pulled back from the brink and have reconciled. It took a few days longer than I had expected but it worked out ok. A journey that was always going to feel longer than usual even without the time consuming distractions of traffic accidents and road works. There was an ongoing battle between considered optimism and persistant fears all the way down. Yet within minutes of my arrival there were heartfelt kisses and intense embraces and I started to believe things would be ok. And within minutes they were. My relief is absolute. It's a little frightening that anybody has become so important to me. It's worth it though and I believed that even in the darkest moments, that the instances of utter joy and contentment were an ample reward even if the pain was so absolute that I thought it would consume me at times in that dark, dark few weeks there.
Now, looking ahead to the future, it's comforting that peoples' reaction has been so absolutely positive about our getting back together, comforting that she's back at the stage that she's hoping to start a masters in Limerick come September (or at least one in Trinity that would require more time on work experience in Limerick than class time in Dublin at least). My lady got her degree results on Tuesday. She got a 1.1 (the first in the history of her course, five years or so). She's a clever, clever girl and, touch wood, we are going to stay together now for a very, very long time. A friend told me a couple of weeks ago that all that happened could actually bring us closer together. I told her this the other day and she said, "I hope so". As do I.
Stay happy,
Dar
