Thank you everyone for your kind and congratulatory words! That is exactly what I was talking about in my original post, you all are the best ^_^
I know I need to let her do the pacing and that's my plan but she is the kind of person to take in big bad news and then never talk about it again and I'm just afraid that if I don't casually bring it up or talk about it going forward its just going to become that "thing" that I do. I really want her to be involved. That's why I'm planning on introducing her to Kristin the weekend after this. Do you think that is too soon?
I did tell her that from now on I know there is no reason I have to keep any secrets from her. I think she liked that. I also mentioned that there was a Loved Ones and FAB forum that she could go to if she needed advice on how to deal.
I also asked her if she would care if I was on the boards while she was in the room as kind of easing her into the idea and she said it was ok, although I was on here last night while she was busy elsewhere and as soon as I heard her coming down the hall my hand hit that red X faster than you can blink your eye...silly programmed reflexes
That's a really cool idea Firefly, I will keep it in mind, thanks![]()
