I've had my fair share of struggles in my life and you will look back at the events of last year in the future and think how things have improved -I guarantee it.
Sue darlin' - so glad you've come back to join us again and am pleased at your news too. Happy New Year to you and your family and lets hope this year will be much, much better than last year for you.
It sounds as though in spite of all your difficulties problems are being resolved and you are happier than you were previously even though you are missing your partner.
I hope the new year brings a continuing improvement in your situation x
