She started it...

In a recent posting on her blog my niece Susan noted that she and I are both going through breakups. I have also been reflecting on that and not just because she is my niece. It is also the weird congruenties that I find between our two situations such as the fact that Susan and Fiona turned 40 last year, Susan in August and Fiona in September. Damn midlife crises!

I would not wish this on anyone, no less my niece who I love dearly. At the same time if I must go through this I am so glad I have someone I can really share with not just dump on. Being able to connect with Susan has helped in my healing in part because I can give some healing back. My ability to heal is directly tied to my own healing so to do one I must embrace the other.

Thank you Susan.
