Choosing happiness...I love that. I wish you and Damien all the happiness in the world.
And your old friend from school...I recently got a similiar letter from an old friend as well. She was evaluating her life, righting some wrongs, and just thinking things over. I hadn't held a grudge, but it amazed me that all these years, she thought I hated her, though we hadn't spoken in over two and a half decades. She hurt herself more than she'd ever hurt me or the friend our whole agreement started over (and she did hurt him badly). I actually feel bad that she's carried this for all these years, when my friend J. and I hadn't really even given her much of a second thought.
There's nothing quite like having someone from your past get back in touch with you in the way your friend did. I've had it happen a couple of times, and it makes me choke up.

Thanks for sharing it.
And thanks for continuing to be that maverick (which I regard in the best possible sense of the word, not in the way it has been co-opted by McSame.)

And those "just because" hugs are the best!
Yaaay!
