I went through the leaving process just as you described. It was so excruciatingly difficult, twice as difficult if you catch my drift. The last words I said to her was that, "I promised that I would give you everything you wanted if it was in my power." "I realize that this is what you want, so it shall be." We hugged and I watched her drive away. I stood in the middle of a sidewalk in a small southern town, tears streaming and people walking by, pretending not to notice. It got better eventually, but after all these years there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about the three of us.
