4 o' clock in the morning.......... couldn't sleep. I don't know what came over me to spill out the touchy feely stuff. Not very asian male of me. At least older Asian male. I guess I'm one of those in between generational types. Anyway, yes, the journey was amazing. My biggest regret was not telling her how much I appreciated her support and friendship. As mentioned before in another thread a few years back, we grew up in the same DTES neighbourhood and went to the same schools. When we got married, I promised her we'd live in a brand new house. We managed that four times. It wasn't easy. After she passed away, my daughter, who spent a lot of time with her during the last few days of her life, revealed to me what mom said to her - that dad was reliable and kept his promises. That was the greatest compliment anyone could have given me. I still visit her everyday with flowers from our backyard. Driving up, I find myself still smiling - sometimes a sad smile. Damn, I have to stop this. I don't like talking about it in real life to friends and family, because it's so awkward. It makes people very uncomfortable. Maybe because RS is an on line community, it's different?

Anyway, I stay positive and look forward to a new day every time I get up.

Sorry for the long post, and thanks RS for listening.
