Dear Nan:

I am smiling too, right now. It is a beautiful love story, and the flowers, a beautiful gift of love. I can’t imagine this being anything but real, how can it be anything else… No doubt in my mind, from all your shares, I would open that pick up truck door (Bridges…) and I would run, run run to him.

Yes, it is an incredibly beautiful love story, sigh.

All the baby steps you mentioned, the steps, all reasonable. I would execute those on schedule, sooner than later, spring or summer, like you mentioned, not a moment longer than is necessary or wise.

When you wrote the above post, I think, you were full of loving feelings, being loved. As time goes on you will feel again, i believe, the fear about making these changes… I hope you keep this love in your heart to give you the courage you need to follow through.

It is not only about choosing love with R-1 as I see it. It is about un-choosing a life of fear, intimidation and manipulation with R-2.

Post again… and again, you are a breath of fresh air, you and your story!!!
