Mrs R told me tonight that I said something to her that

[Redstone]

"healed a lot of things that had been broken inside her."

It felt good to hear her say that. Indeed.

Redstone

[haf216]

1. That's great.

It's a good thing when our words can do that kind of healing.

[Redstone]

11. Yes. It shows us how powerful our words are.

Redstone

[Deja Q]

2. I'm happy for her and you.

:)

[Redstone]

5. I do hope, my friend, that you find such a partner some day.

I do. You have to trust me when I say that it can happen for anyone.

OK?

Redstone

[lildreamer316]

3. AWWWWW!

That is so completely cool.
BTW, adorable kid in the other thread........:hug: :hug:

[Redstone]

6. Yes, he looks like his mom. And I like that.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Redstone.........

Well, that just confirms what I've always suspected......

You are a gentleman, who has a way with words........

Both of you are very lucky to have such partners...... :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. The second-best thing about when that happens

is when you do this ginormous exhale and it feels like somebody took that elephant off your shoulders, and you go, "Whew! I got one right!"

:toast:

[Redstone]

9. Oh, you understand, don't you. Thanks.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

8. Well, you've kicked my ass a few times here, so I guess I could say the same thing.

[Redstone]

10. "Kicked your ass?" Never would I lay a hand (or a foot) upon you, unless it

were a fond and friendly embrace.

Which I hope to be able to give you one day. And you know that.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

19. I so know that.

:loveya:

[Redstone]

22. Some day, you'll feel that embrace.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

23. I need one right now.

Bad bad week. And I mean bad.

[Redstone]

25. If I could deliver it now, I would.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

28. I'll accept the kind thought.

[Redstone]

30. Take it with you when you go to sleep this night, and sleep well.

Redstone

[Left Is Write]

12. I can imagine how good that felt.

:hug:

[Redstone]

15. I held her REALLY tight. We'd started out the day on a bad note, so it felt

especially good.

You know how these things work in a marriage, don't you?

Redstone

[Left Is Write]

18. I do. And I think I know a little of what you feel.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Reading that made me feel so good, Redstone.

Bless her heart, I hope she continues to heal and do well.

[Redstone]

17. Yes, she's healing. And I will continue to do whatever it takes, whatever I can do,

to help her.

She's the love of my life, How many people are lucky enough to find one of those?

Redstone

[haf216]

26. It's so nice to hear someone say that in this day and age.

Either people don't feel that they have found the "love of their life," or they do not say it. I'm happy that you have yours.

[SeattleGirl]

27. Not a lot of people are lucky in that way, Redstone.

I'm so glad you two are still together; you of course still need to take care of yourself, but if MrsR is willing to take care of her problem, that is wonderful. I wish you both great blessings.

[Redstone]

31. Thank you, m'dear. It's a rough road we travel, but Mrs R and I will travel it together.

We will.

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Not a lot of people have that...

And I pray that everyone finds it. I'm happy for you guys and I hope it just continues to get better.
I got so lucky when I found my Skip. I want everyone to be as happy and as lucky as I am.
Duckie

[Gormy Cuss]

14. Good.

Good that she feels that way.
Good that she expressed that feeling.
:thumbsup:

[Redstone]

21. Good, indeed.

Redstone

[leftofthedial]

16. love is a powerful healing force

sometimes it takes awhile

[Redstone]

24. Sixteen years it's taken. And no matter how many more it takes, I'll be here for her.

It's my mission. It's what I was meant to do.

Redstone

[LaraMN]

20. Awww, sweet!

I'm glad you two seem to be doing okay!

:hug:

[Redstone]

29. We both want the same thing. So we're both willing to work toward it.

That's what is essential.

Thanks for the good wishes.

Redstone

32. Sometimes we forget that it's the little, unintentional things that we say

that can really make a difference in someone's life.

Words are the most powerful things imaginable. Bruises heal, physical pain fades to a memory...words never leave us. Cutting remarks cut just as deeply years later...and the memories of healing words are just as soothing as days, weeks, even years pass.

Somehow, I'm not surprised that yours were of the healing variety.

:hug:

[crim son]

33. You must have a gift.

Those words are not easy to find.

[libnnc]

34. You are a great man Redstone

big, big hugs from me.

Glad y'all are working things out. :hug:

[NC_Nurse]

35. Wow. Last I heard things weren't going well at all.

I'm so happy to hear this!
Make sure you remember to take care of yourself too. It can't ALL be about her or you will end up exhausted and
ready to give up again.
That said, I'm pulling for you too! :hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

37. That's wonderful, Redstone!

:hug: It sounds like things are on the mend. I'm very happy for you! :pals:

[merh]

38. how wonderful

how truly wonderful for the both of you.

It is in giving that we receive. :hug:
