Congrats to your husband - that's awesome. I hope you guys go celebrate.
alice, I got such a giggle out of your "letter" to xAP. To my xAP, who like yours, job and prestige was keen, H's got me and the money. nanner nanner :-)
Alice, Im so happy for you and I love it when I can get my spirits lifted by reading a post. Congrats to you AND your H.
My XMM definately has more money than I will ever dream of, he will always take more vacations, have more dinners out but he DOESNT have the appreciation of what is really important in life! What he has instead is a pathetic life with ZERO fullfiment. He hates his job, his marriage, yet refuses to make any changes. I have always said and even told him this..that I may not have a lot of $$ in the bank, but my life will always be richer. I have a H who adores me, kids who do not feel entitled and a dream job that I never thought I would get.
When I think about how much more fulfilling my life is than his, it makes me smile. I will always stop and admire the "view" in my life where XMM cant because he is too focused on materialistic posetions and $$.
I wasted so much time on a coward when I should have been putting that effort into my family. But now, I stop and think about how lucky I am when my H makes a funny and witty comment that makes me laugh. I ignored those little things about my H for 16mths and its nice to see them again.
I love this post. Congrats to the hubby and hug that little girl. It's amazing how quickly we lose sight of what is really important during the A. I was a zombie in my real life for a year. I am so glad to be back. My heart literally sings when I know I can go home and snuggle with my H all night. I never appreciated that time before. And I really love what you said about rooting for your H. For so long, I was rooting against him. I was looking for flaws. I wanted him to fail me so I had an excuse. It's amazing that he made it through that and is willing to stand by my side for the rest of our lives. I will root for him everyday for the rest of my life for sure.
Congrats to you and DH Alice! Many of us can say we got a second chance at life due to the A. It's almost like we died and got to come back to life only to realize just how precious our loved ones are. I feel so blessed because of that. I'm really happy for you and your family.
Alice, I am doing the happy dance for you!

I also had an 'ah ha' moment from my 9 year old daughter last week.
