GrumpyDude - Temporarily Out Of Service

[PumpkinJack81]

Once you are loved, it shall never end. Once you are held, it will happen again. Faith is the key, as all will be taken away. And choice will make it free, to come back one day. Through tribulation and dispair, it's all going to be right. When you're made well aware, and can see in the light. So say it even louder, make it echo to no end. That you are loved, and I will see you again.

That is beautiful and so very true...

Grumpydude and Dzney4lyf,

I want to thank you both for sharing your life with us and what has been going on. I know I may not know both of you, but you can get attached to people here and it is one big happy family. I have met many nice people and I hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. I think Tampa put it beautifully. You two are greatly loved by your friends here at DWT.com and I want to you know that I am sending you both my prayers. Please take care and know that no matter where life takes you, what like might throw at you, God will NEVER give you more than you can handle!

"It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to fall in love with someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. " (this is my favorite quote. I do not know who it is by but it is so true) Take care and know that we are all here for you both!

Simply Beautiful. I absolutely concur whole heartedly on this. May you two be strong, may you two be hopeful, and may you know that this storm shall pass...

Take Care and be blessed

Awesome, Joey....well said.

And to both Lori and Todd-I am a bit surprised by the openess you both shared on this thread, telling your story. It is so personal. But I thank you for it, and I wish you both good luck as you chart new paths. I hope you find your own way and look back glad for the decisions you have made. If they lead you down the same road, I wish you great luck and happiness. Hope to see you around these threads again soon, you will both be missed.

[GrumpyDude]

had to come back and share. heard there were a lot of questions and discussions, and also seeing it in the posts.........

it's lori's business and story, so i can't go into details. but kids, here's a bit of advice, if a relationship doesn't work for some reason, and you are given a second chance.......don't do like some people and act like nothing ever happened and continue the same behavior........that's just stupid.

with that said, lori and i are fine. actually better then ever. she did what she had to do, and i can't blame her for it, actually i give her a lot of credit. but, seeing her wrestle with the decision showed me that her feelings for me were just as deep as mine for her. we're both going through a lot, and whatever is to come, we are going after it head first (like we always do, for better or worse), and tackling it together.

and, lori, i love you too, and i will always love and always be here for you. you have given me so much strength and courage and support during the past several months, for which i don't feel i can ever repay you. but, i promise, i'll never stop trying.

so, as i said, a lot of stuff coming, finding my own place, living on my own for the first time, and maintaining a relationship with and raising Megan in a whole new environment. to think about it is overwhelming, but i know i'll be fine.

so, until the chaos and mayhem dies down and i return, take care everyone. and thank you for the support, it has meant a lot.

Thank you for being open and honest about your situations. It takes someone very strong to be able to discuss these topics in the open. Even though we have not encountered each other that often on these forums, we are still all members of the same DWT Family!

I will miss seeing your brilliant posts and amusing threads. Good luck to you both, and we will be awaiting your return.

and being sent your way.

[jarmitc2032]

I hope for the best for the both of you.

[dzney4lyf]

ok.. here's a little update on me....

as todd had said, when someone gives you a second chance..... never take that for granted. we cannot change the past nor another person...but, we can change the future and our selves. unfortunatly, my husband could not change himself. and i cannot do it for him. so that is why i made the decision we are better off not staying together.

today, we filed for seperation. in one year a divorce will be granted. things are good, we walked away as friends.

i've never felt more sure of a decision in my life. i also never been happier.

i am still taking a break from here to get a start on my new life.... letting things get settled. once they are, i will come back.

thank you everyone for listening to our stories and all the feed back.

now i can move on to the next chapter in my life......and, todd, i'm looking foward to every moment of it.... for better or for worse.

[dzney4lyf]

oh yeah.. btw, sorry todd... i did it again... trying to hyjack a thread.. i guess it's hard to break old habbits...

[MainStreet, USA]

Good luck guys. Hope everything works out for the best in both your cases. I look forward to seeing you guys around here in force again someday.

Hope things get better for you

It is a real shame when a marriage breaks up - for whatever reason. It is something that happens in the course of many peoples lives and is probably not a decision taken lightly by the people involved. For the rest of us people, we can only imagine what they are going through and can only send our prayers and thoughts to let them know we are thinking about them through those difficult and turbulent times.
Todd and Lori, this is what I am doing right now. My and
are with you both through those difficult times.


I am a believer also, that everything happens in life for a reason and sometimes things are 'Meant To Be'.

May I wish you all the best for a great future and I am sure everything will work out the way you want it. It has been said before: There will be good times and bad times - 'For Better or Worse'!!

I am looking forward to the day you are both back here - It won't be the same without the two of you!!

Until that day, take care and you'll always be in my thoughts.

lol
Rich


PS, I know you guys have a lot to do and sort out, but, please don't leave it too long!!

[SnwhtNdwrfs]

To both of you:

Your DWT family will be waiting here for you. Come back when you can! We will be missing you both.

[disneyveteran]

I don't know whether to feel bad for you both or happy for you both. I do know that this has brought back many memories, both good and bad, and as the tears keep flowing I say to you both....follow your hearts, you only have one life to live. In the grand scheme of things there will be one person in your lifetime that is your soulmate, your regrets can last a lifetime if you let them go. And people will always get hurt, not by intentional means, but just by timing. I wish you both the best of luck and hope that following your dreams, no matter what they may be, gives you both the happiness you so desire.
