You say hello, I say goodbye

For 2 ½ years, since Blogxygen’s birth,

I have laughed and cried with you.

I have bitched and moaned and celebrated my successes.

I have been sick and almost died and come back. I have found life.

I have found beauty in life.

I have made friends that I’ll have for a lifetime.

I have learned that I am not alone.  Never.

I have learned that I am good.

I have suffered the death of my daughter.

I have found peace in her passing.

I’ve regaled you with silly

tube and treatment stories.

and

stories about my man and my man-child.

I’ve rekindled my passion for writing.

I have discovered the true meaning of

recovery

from an eating disorder and

What it really takes.

Blogxygen saved me.

But it’s time for me to

Save myself.

So.

I’ll be around.

but Blogxygen may be taking

breaths few and far in between

for awhile

while I

finally

finally

take my first, real

deep breath.

On my own.

So.

Here goes.

Peace.
