An Ending

. . . and hopefully a beginning.

Something happened on Sunday which had not happened since Kelly and I split up. I knew this day was coming, and I knew it would hurt. But it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.

I was talking to her on the phone in the morning and we were going over all the usual stuff when I said that maybe I’d swing by later on to play with the dogs and hang out.

“No, I don’t think so” she said. “John’s coming over.” John being the guy she’s dating now.

We’ve both seen other people since we broke up, but I’ve never . . . what is it exactly that I’ve never done? Never been replaced? Or never had to give her her space? Whichever way I decide to look at it, I did it on Sunday.

    I stumbled on your blog and have enjoyed seeing the progress on your sweater. I’m here in SA, too! Maybe we’ll bump into each other at the Yarn Barn.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say I’m sorry about your Sunday. Hang in there. Knit, and hang in there!

    Sorry. This can be really rough, like breaking up all over again. Be good to yourself this week.

    A few days late and way too many dollars short, but I wanted to say that I am sorry you had to go through it. A very late hug to you..
