Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s an emotional time for you, Derek. Be kind to yourself as you transition into a new space. Iโ€™m still feeling unsettled. Iโ€™m glad you were able to finish your letter. The fact that you didnโ€™t finish it earlier might suggest that you were processing or letting go of what might have been. I feel thatโ€™s part of the grief Iโ€™m experiencing โ€” what I thought would have been, is not.

Iโ€™m finding I need to settle into a new reality. Iโ€™m not where I thought I would be. It can feel so discouraging at times. I can see it. But, Iโ€™m not there yet.

Itโ€™s nice that you donโ€™t live too far from the kids. Itโ€™s hard to say what the future will hold.

Good luck with the move.
