Appreciate it. If you look at the facts, there really isn't much more I can do. Sometimes we have to learn to let go of things we can not control and just be happy with who we are and what we have.

I know I could have it worse. I won't die without her. I would miss her deeply, but I don't need her.

When I think I have it bad, all I have to do is read about all the people dealing with cheating or abusive spouses, losing a child, losing a limb, cancer, etc.

Compared to them, I just have a belly ache.
