This isn’t what any of us signed up for. But it is the hand that we have been dealt. Thus, we must play it.

Hi guys
I am going to need a little understanding and forgiveness with this post. I have come to recognise what it means to me when a poster acknowledges my contribution by name. I so wanted to do that for this one. Each of you who have responded here have been such a unique and important part of my journey to the new me. Unfortunately I am posting from my phone and struggle a bit on it so please know that I have read and then reread your posts and they have made the lingering "warm happy " so much more of both of those.
Then SD,Bow Tie, squid and Simplicity, I would deem it an honour to advise or contribute when your turn comes round. Not sure if I have missed any of you who will be following me down this path shortly, the invitation is open to all of you.
So again, THANKS

Spot on! I am not sure that there is any greater truth than that

Had I known the party would go on so long I might have suggested the song O what a beautiful morning from the musical Oklahoma.
Congratulations on a wonderful freedom party.

Oh, what a night!
Late September in '17
What a very special time for thee,
And you'll remember, what a night!
Couldn't resist..... What a wonderful celebration!

5454real,
That certainly would have been appropriate.

I love that song. I am going to suggest that it becomes "our" song. If for some reason she disagrees I will make it "my" song.
MOB, you have me blushing again but coming from you that means a lot to me. I am not sure if you have read any of my recent responses to some of the threads, but I find myself dispensing, on a regular basis, that good advice that you gave me quite early on. At that point I thought that you were one of the wise vets on here. I never imagined that I would have the privilege of being able to give you some support. Was so pleased when the opportunity presented itself.
Thanks all.
If you take a peak at what I shared on SuchA's thread you might get some idea of just how good it actually was.

OH4, thank, you very much for your comments about me, I feel embarrassed about even being mentioned, although I have to say, in my eyes the very best mentor you have/had is the person I said right from the very start to you was going to be your brightest star, you know who it is, it's that biggest, brightest, shiniest, star, you are lucky to have in your life, always protecting you, and I suspect fiercely at times, always supporting you, and pushing you in the right direction, in her own unique way, yes folks that person is OH4s DD, I pale in comparison to this young woman, she is the brightest star and number one jewel of a mentor for me.
Regards BJE49

Why O4, I didn't know you cared! 
Go for it, mate! It's good for two people in love to have a song that they can celebrate together!

04,
Your daughter is an absolute wonder, a preciousness beyond description.
You're one fortunate guy.

OH4, looks like me and Mrs BJE, are not the only ones who love the Mama Mia film, seems you, MMS and your DD and friend likes it as well.
You want another laugh, whilst on my wedding aniversery hols, slipped on the pool slide, and did my side and bum in so no aniversary nuptuals to sore, got home and well on the mend then Mrs BJE does her neck and shoulder in from doing housework cleaning, so everything still on a hold.
I feel like if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all, not the first time Iv'e said that on SI.

Must say that you will get very little sympathy here. Complaining about having to be celibate for a weekend or maybe a week.
Nearly 2 year drought over here. But then isn't it common knowledge that often after a drought there are floods.
I felt soooooooo naughty saying that. Please keep that between us. Would hate a certain someone to think that that was all that was on my mind.

I'm in a similar drought timeline myself. Perhaps a bit risque for here but my barber jokes when he shaves me that he is extra careful in case I explode like a cream truck
