I like this quote a lot because I think it's true- I'm not sure that I 100% followed it and the work of becoming 'someone' is so much harder when your life it intertwined with someone elses (or many someone elses). A striking example of this is the way I feel so different in the evenings when Les is away. Or when the kids are out at school and kindy and the baby is asleep. It's not better or worse- just different, just their presence in the house makes a big difference to how I am. But I am happy and it doesn't come down to the people around me- if (god forbid) some terrible calamity struck them all down, after the storm of grief passed, and the clouds cleared. I'd be ok. I'd be happy again. I am happy now. Very.
