Another Email I received from my dad on June 16th...11 days before he passed away.

Hi Robin,
             Here's some more of my thoughts as reflected in this little poem. Perhaps it has no important or significance to you.....and that's quite all right with me. Yet....I wanted to share with you .....feel more than free to zap it into cyber space.
             I hope and trust that you are getting along ok. Please take care of your health...especially at this once in a life time event.
                                                                       Love,
                                                                          Daddy 
                                           
                                                          The Past

Living in the moment is the way to be....dwelling on the past...will never set you free.
Each conscious second is as precious as the last...yet being in the present is always a task.
We ponder days gone by wishing for change...But alas..it's ludicrous for it will eternally remain the same.
Why do we reflect and dream in this past....knowing each moment could be our last?
Memories hint of how we might change....yet to dream in the past is truly insane.
So dwell in the future my incarnate fool.....as moment follows moment in this brief living school.
                                                         Robert French Charles

Addie replied to Kali's discussion It was not supposed to be like this in the group Being the Other Woman/Other Man
"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
