Hi Mike-You've made it through another first...glad you took the time and space to both laugh and cry. Good luck with the dinner. We are still battling and waiting on most recent test results, but at times talk about the what-if's, and dating is one I can't even begin to imagine I would want to explore. Although I'm 51 and a good bit older than you, it still seems young to spend a life alone after 25 years sharing a child, a business, and an enduring love of one another, and I prefer to believe we are beating this. You have a brave and hearty soul, and a kind and loving heart so I trust good things will come to you and Alyssa again. May your hearts be open to the beauty and goodness around you.....it's spring, the time for new life and growth.
