I'm glad everything has worked out for the best. And better still, you can start writing again! My desire to write has dropped a HUGE amount since starting school and I can't wait for this class to be over so I can choose my next class more carefully and take something that has a bit more to do with actual writing, not geopolitics and resistance.
OMG! How stressful! I'm so glad things turned around in a positive way for you and the DH! Nothing like having your whole world shaken up to leave a person feeling like they're fighting a battle. And it being so out of your control like that? I know it's over, but (((((PAGE))))) anyway!
And now this is just me being curious, so feel free to ignore me, but anytime I hear about an age difference I can't help but wonder how many years is 'quite a bit younger'. And that's because, I'm also in one of those situations myself. There's 16 years between me and my DH, who is also in his fifties, and is contemplating retiring. I used to joke around and say I was his mid-life crisis. *G* Now that I'm a bit older, and think about it, I question what's going to happen when he's retired, and I'm still wanting to work. And then there's the issue of our youngest being in Grade 7 this year. It's seems odd, to me, that she is going to be in high school when he retires. Anyway...
