To you, with Love.

It has come to my attention that I Love many people, and many of those people I have never told "I love you".

So to you, my Family: Mom, Dad, Lorene... I love you with everything that I have. It kills me to see you so very, very ill Mom, and it hurts me that there isn't anything that I can do to help you.

To Grampa... I love you so much, and I'm sorry that the love of your life has left you now. You will meet again, one day - but hopefully not too soon.

To Leon, Casey and Jordan... I Love you all so much that it hurts sometimes. Leon, I'm sorry that it's time for this to end, but please tell me it'll all be okay in the end because we are doing what is best for all of us.

To Christine and Christopher... I love you both very much. I'm sorry that there seems to be a need to demonize someone in this process, and that that someone is me.

To Sarah, Michael, Rowan, Lilah, Cheesefairy, SA, Trombone, Dan, Chris, Heather, Jim, Trisha, Austin, Joy, MA, Arwen, Michelle, Jess, Alan, Stephen, Ian Mack, Rick, and so many that I know I've forgotten in this moment... I love and value each and every one of you because you're special to me, and every one of you have brought amazing light into my life.

Just wanted you to know... so that nothing goes unsaid anymore. I've spent a lot of time not saying things. It's time for that to stop.

I know, I know....

It's been a REALLY long time and in that REALLY long time a LOT of things have happened.

Here's the skinny, for those of you that I haven't had a chance to talk to (sorry... there are REASONS).

Leon and I have decided to separate. It's been a long and arduous process, but I think it's going to be for the best, in the long run. For those of you that know our children - they haven't been told yet, nor will they until we KNOW where each of us will live and how arrangements will be made... so we'd appreciate your candor if you happen to be discussing this in front of YOUR children that our children might know :-). Ah, little ears.

I am also now looking for work. Y'all know my specialties for the most part... so I'd appreciate it if you could watch out for me and let me know if anything interesting happens to crop up that I may be interested in? Nanaimo or Vancouver/the mainland are the contenders because we would all like to stay very close. We don't hate one another, in fact, we all get along quite well... but we want it to stay that way, which is why the separation.

It's been a really emotional few months here... as many of you know, my Gramma also passed away. Her service will be held August 20, which would have been her 91st birthday.

That's it for the update at this moment...
