For WCF ... tweener wings (-:

this message is to send a huge congrat's to our latest tweener - wcf!

For those of you who aren't aware, wcf is a single gal who ended an affair with xAP for good three months ago! This was no easy task - he didn't make it easy on her. From relentless & lame fishing attempts, to outright invitations to re-engage the affair, he tried to squeeze himself back into her space however he could. It took her a couple of tries to get it "just right". Tried the frienship route, tried the "just let him fade away route" ... but after a particularly disgusting telephone conversation, her resolve was finanlly firmly enough in place. She blocked and walked and hasn't looked back. She has been a strong source of support for me off the board since my second attempt at ending almost a year ago. She has been there to be my sounding board day in & day out through-out my entire ending journey. Without doubt she has been MY life line. She has held my darkest shames and helped me to pick myself up when I couldn't even get out of bed. As a fellow academic she's assisted me to edit papers & proposals when my own self-doubt had me feeling worthless. She's brilliant & beautiful & so lovely.

I love you wcf - for the person you have helped me to become by being

the best of the person you have become: fearless, commited, authentic, funny as all heck, giving, present ...

TU....I mean WCF....CONGRATS!!! Congrats to you both for being cyber buddy's! WCF, you are an occasional poster as of late...but I remember you when...and you have always been just as TU described in anything I did see and more than that, I trust her and know that when she speaks and posts with this much emotion and passion, she feels it and is committed to every word....happy you have been there for her and happy she has been there for you, does not get much better than TU... and this is another example of how important a cyber buddy can be.

WCF just sent me an email that said this about her wings:

"Thank you so much!!! I almost want to cry, so lovely! But I'm at my mums office with her, so I'll hold it in for now ;)
I want to do a quick reply from my phone, but I can't seem to log into the forum :( I'll try again!"

Thank you everyone! It was my 3 month mark on Saturday, though I know the boards are quiet then. That, and to answer you Iddy, I've been out and about 'living my life' and not worrying about xAP anymore. I, of course, still have things to work on and through, but he isn't front and center in my mind anymore...not by a long-shot. These past few days I've been away from my schooling and took a trip home to visit my family. I thik it was a very fitting way to mark my enterence into Tweenerville :) I've had a blast while I've been here, but I have to say - I'm 500 different kinds of tired right now. I want to thank TU, whom I love very dearly (and if it wasn't for her, I doubt I could have gotten as far as I have as quick as I have. She's been a huge source of support, just as I have been for her), for posting this for me :)

I'm heading back to 'school home' tomorrow, and need to get some sleep. I also imagine I'll sleep on the trip home, so I should be rested enough to give a proper 'acceptence/victory' speach upon my return. Rest assured that I'm thinking of you all, and thank you to each and everyone of you here - from the vets who have 'been there, done that' and offer the associated sage advice to the newbies who allow me to pay it forward and also see myselves in them, where and how far I've come.

Thanks again for the congrats everyone, I'm glad to be here flapping my wings! I know I'll be up in that vet penthouse soon enough, and I can't wait to welcome all the new(er) newbies into tweenerville along with me.

((HUGS!))
