Marjorie how I love and admire you! I wish I had pursued your education path as we are good friends and I’ve always admired you for this. I stopped pleasing everyone while staying at my “job”. Accepting that this is where I will stay till I retire. It pays my bills, I have health insurance and retirement savings. I sold my house that I worked so hard to build while recovering from my divorce. Moved to Orlando area, closer to you!

I lived to live. I enjoyed small trips and vacations with my son and daughter. I stayed single and found myself. Loved myself for the first time ever.

You continued to amaze me as we shared drinks and dinner in all the best places in your area. Although I didn’t stay there long, it was time to care for my aging mother suffering with dementia. And without looking fell in love with a man who started as a friend. We are now engaged. I said I would never do this again, but it’s our time now. Have we learned from our past mistakes? We hope so.

You continue to amaze me as you travel this next journey in your life.
