THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING HERE...I WISH YOU WELL

(((((((((((((Guys)))))))))))))))))

As you know the last few months have been horrendous for me.. And I have had to do some growing up....Now I have come to the conclusion, I need to put Ally first for a change..I have spent my whole life, being a caretaker, people pleaser, doormat, etc....I can no longer do it..... It is causing me great distress, and unhappiness...

So I am doing something I should have done a long time ago.. I am setting up my future... I have detached.. (not completely)..lol... from the A in my life. I am back at my work after four months of being off... It feels good, I feel useful again... Most of you know I work with the terminally ill..Yes It can be stressfull.. I had a patient who I had a great relationship with. He called me "matron"..lol

He loved to hear my stories, my al-anon, my every day adventure.....lol
He was in his early fiftys, and I kept him young..I sent him a postcard from france...Proud that I had been on a plane..And I could picture him smiling...

Two days before I went back to work, he passed away..This is the reminder I needed that indeed Life is too short..

So Its Time I moved on with MINE... I am applying to the nursing College, and If I am successful, that is three years of  my life training.. So I am starting "Today", to withdraw from you lot....

I really need some self-care right now..I know you will all understand..

I will still pop in from time to time to see how you all are doing..

I have confidence in you all, that you have a strong will and can do this..

Loved every min of your humour, tears, all emotiions we have experienced together..

Keeping you all in my heart..

Your in Recovery

Ally Girlevileyeevileye

Best wishes on your nursing school - I'm sure you will do well.

I know I will miss you, but totally understand the need for time apart and self-care. If you are ever down & need a cheering section - we'll be here.

Peace,
Rita
