Well lucky here as only one time but you took me right down the aisle here and felt the fear but also the hope that it was going to be the right one.
even on the one time here we both had some of the same fears
most enjoyable

Sue, well the third time was my charm, I sure am glad too, for I had no intentions of trying it again. I'd made my mind up it was either do or not.
But..we never know unless we try.

The third time could be the charm; go for it I'd say.

I misread the title, half-Freudian maybe, as "The Long Drop"!! This is so bittersweet, Sue, and reveals such a tender and vulnerable desire for this commitment to work... but I can't help feeling that it is commitment that NEEDS the work! We can but try, and determine to commit - if you see what I mean! Better than not, after all! This really tugged at my heartstrings. Faith and hope are the strong shoulders that put their force to the plough of fulfilled dreams. You certainly have a gift for portraying the hidden depths of the ordinary and everyday human experiences that we might otherwise take for granted and read only at a superficial level. You are a wonderful "people-watcher"! TY Kate xx

If only there were a charm Sue! methinks mating relationships
are still a big mystery that we can't seem to crack!;-)
