((((((Barbara)))))),
I'm so sorry, honey

We knew this was lurking in the background, but, it's different to hear it put into words.
I told you I had a feeling that he came into your life for a reason. Maybe to teach you how to open your heart and to love again
David's right -- it's heartbreaking. But, it's the most intimate experience you can share with another human being.
I didn't say it at the time that he pushed you away. But, I had a feeling that he was pushing you away because he didn't want you to get hurt. It speaks volumes about YOU, Barbara, that he's willing to let you close now.
You know we all care about you and love you. We're all here for you 24/7. Let the love surround you and warm the last few cold places in your heart.
Bless you. You're a wonderful person. BIG HUGS.
Barb
