Hi all,
It’s been an interesting decade. Hard to believe my initial post here was in 2006, and the final one above in 2008.
For a time after my sign-off post in ’08, I lost more than you’d imagine. More than I care to remember.
But there’s more than loss, and why I’ve returned.
There’s hope.
Hope for those suffering directly from bipolar disorder.
Hope for those suffering on the sidelines.
Hope for the (now adult) children my ex-lovely and I had. Those children are now crafting their own homes, deciphering their own life puzzles, and are always wondering, “will I be like mom?” now that they can see our struggles through adult eyes.
In many ways, do I pray they are like their mom.
I pray they take the best in both of us, shine it up in their own personal way, and dazzle the skies around them.
It’s not been easy, my fellow travellers out here. But if I can help by sharing anything learned from this very painful road, I’ll do so.
Cheers
John
