Dear Gather Friends...
I feel I seriously need to explain my lack of participation of late..
I'm going through divorce proceedings. As anyone who's gone through that knows, there's a lot to cover.
Even though the relationship has been over for years, a sadness is still present as we humans do not admit defeat easily. Relief? Yes. Hope for the future? Definitely.
I can remember driving home from work on Fridays & taking the long way home.
That feeling of being worked over by a champion boxer, would best describe how I felt for so long.. Punch drunk.
Yet, as humans, we can rise again to begin a new life. I'm really looking forward to enjoying life again...
If my commenting is sporadic at best in the weeks ahead, please understand..

hugs Ken
we are here when your ready
And you will enjoy life as never before. Sometime, not that soon perhaps, but sometime, this period will seem like a distant memory rather than a bloody painful one.
Oh, Ken, I'm so sorry you're having to go through difficult times....once again.......you've really been having struggles.....first, with losing a very close friend......now this. Yes, yes, there IS hope for the future, and you CAN move on and find happiness once again. I will keep you in my prayers, as you go through this difficult time.
Oh.......what a great photo of you and your wonderful doggie!
Ken, having been there and done that I know what you are talking about. Believe me when I say things are going to bet better. I have faith that you will make it through this trying time.
My heart goes out to you Ken, take care of yourself and know that you have friends here that will do what we can to help. Life again will be calm and bring happiness. You will be in my prayers.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Take care of yourself. We'll all be here when you are ready.
Sorry to hear about this Ken ((God Bless & Big Hugs)) Mj
Ken, I am so sorry that you are going through this. Yes it is hard to admit defeat....but know that life will be wonderful in this next phase as well~
Sorry Ken. But I hope a fresh start will take you in promising directions.
Sorry it didn't work out (or wasn't working out). I'm sure better things are on the horizon for you.
Boy do I understand where you are. I know the feeling well of being defeated and feeling like I have failed...yet again. After 2 divorces I am still somewhat untrusting in my new relationship. Ric is wonderful, so it isn't him, but I don't plan marriage anytime soon at all. A new beginning is good though and I know you will do great. It's a one day at a time thing and I remember taking the long way home myself. My prayers are with you...
Hi Ken,I hope things get better soon
Prayers and Hugs being sent.
Understood, Ken. Be well!

Hi, Ken.
Sorry to hear your news and I hope you find peace in the near future. Remember to be good to yourself- especially in such a time of stress.
We'll look forward to your smiling face and food photos when you return. :)
Yo, Ken -- you just take your time and we'll be here on the other side.
Been through that Ken... it is hard. Hang in there and return when you can.
I have been there. Things get better! HUGS
Ken, a divorce is hard anyway you look at it. The sense of failure and sadness will wane and you will become a happier person. I was one of the few that once I decided to divorce, I never looked back, and I never questioned myself. You will come out of this happy and stronger, trust me. =)
been there,done that, im here if you need to vent....{{{hugs}}}
I've always said that divorce is not about the person you divorce so much as much as it is the loss of a dream. The happily ever after one. That's how I felt anyway.
Hugs to you my friend.
Sorry you are going through such a tough time right now. Keep your chin up!!
So sorry to hear this, Ken. Take care of yourself!
wishing you the best!
Many blessings sent your way Ken for strength, happiness, relief and bouncing back!
god bless!
