The Battle for the Last Post: Mission Bananarama

[Emmy]

Almost a month since the last post. I wonder if there's a record for longest time between posts. 25 days has to be pretty close to it.

But I mostly just wanted to share with you all that I got engaged over the previous weekend! I am beyond happy and excited, and I'm looking forward to spending my life with someone who challenges and supports me, and has seen all the ugly, hard, and difficult sides of me and loves me anyway.

Oh Emmy, congratulations! I admit I've been in and out of the zone but almost entirely on the sharing poetry & lyrics pages. Your intended sounds like a special guy.

Emmy I wish you guys much happiness going forward. Have you set a date for the wedding?

Thank you! We just booked our ceremony and reception venue yesterday, and we’re getting married on October 6, 2018! 367 days

Congratulations Emmy! Very happy for you. Lots of planning to do. Don't let it drive you crazy and don't let those "helping" you drive you crazy either.

Thank you, EJ!

10-11 - that was the morning I got the call about my Mom and headed out of town post haste. It's been a long and difficult month. I know it's real, but still can't believe she's gone.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Tomorrow I'll get up again and try to get moving on the way things are now.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

My thoughts are still scattered more often than I'd like. People who've been through this tell me it's a normal side effect of grief.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

So I'm just taking it 'one day at a time'.

Looking forward to getting to the 'magic number' of this thread. Maybe don't make it quite so high next time Emmy?

Hey CC - so great to see you in the queue! How's life been treating you?

Oh RLW, I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you love and prayers for peace and comfort.

Thank you Emmy.
