I’m shocked. Of course I started to wonder as I read this piece, but i didn’t want to entertain the possibility. The one time I met her at the poetry reading, you both seemed so happy.
You’ve survived and thrived through so much. Your hair has grown back before. All the best. 🫂
I had cancer in 1989, Ted. Lost all my hair. Or most of it fell out until I shaved my head bald. Even back then, thinking of myself as Samson, I collected all the shaved and fallen off hair - in an urn. Which I’ve kept until this day. Fortunately, hair grows back.🤠❤️
Hey, Trules, so sorry to hear this but I love the image of the Phoenix- have called on that image many times since I lost Jimmie. I know you will power forward and make great stories wherever you land. Sending love❤️
Eric….i feel sad for you. I’m still with same Filipino woman you’ve met….and the marriage couldn’t be deader (ya, I said that). Bravo on your courage to move on.
I know you have a network of good friends and that we haven’t been in touch para muchos anos…..but if you like to talk I’d really enjoy that. My phone is (310) 709-8153. If not, I understand. Perhaps I’m looking for some inspiration from you
I’m saddened to hear. The pillar crumbling is a path to something… more experience, more wisdom, more joy. There’s always more joy.
I love how you write about Surya, perhaps that is not changing. I hope there’s some release in sharing with your readers. You don’t have to carry it alone.
Thanks for your comment, Shaista.. I just felt that going forward, writing autobiographical posts, I had to get past the block of not writing about it. And so I’ve taken the first step.👍
You had a sense that it was coming,, Janet? Thanks for your empathy. But the fact is, it was hard enough to write this post, and I really don’t want to talk about it much at all with my friends. Time to move forward… ❤️

We WERE happy, and then we WEREN’T😩
Sounds difficult, complex and profound..hope you can find a way to figure the good you both shared and the best for your son.
...to welcome with affection what is sent by fate...
I am late to the Marcus Aurelius party, but ..playful stoicism🤔
I always love your words, Fiona. Each & every one. Thank you❤️

Thanks fr your faith & confidence in my phoenix-like abilities, Els!!!

Thanks, Tom. Better still alive than dead. Hope this finds you well other than your marriage.

A real shocker, Eric. Sorry to get this news.
I agree, Arthur. Sorry for not telling you directly. It was just too hard.

All one can do. One step, then another.
Your best post to date….talk soon
That’s high praise coming for such a calamitous post.😎
The upside of heartbreak is that you can sing the blues.
Never had a problem with that! Except for my voice.
Im so sorry. Wishing you all the best
Thanks, Kathy!
Oh, Eric! I'm so sorry! Let's talk. I was afraid for you.
