Hi Dansk, Mrs. Dansk and your Dansk boys....
I know this thread is already incredibly huge, but I had to reply, and give my support to you too...
I know well the feelings you have... exhileration at being free of the borg... and that terrible feeling of loss, all at the same time... It feels like walking in a place with nothing underfoot! But it's an incredible time for you and your family, even your daughters, as opportunity is always there... and in time, those opportunities will present themselves to your daughters too...
When I left (my son agreed with me...whew!), we took the opportunity to create our own family traditions... birthdays, holidays and Christmas are our own thing.... we'd talk about it and decide together... we've incorporated our humour into these events and they really have become a highlight... the first time feels different, and making these traditions makes that easier... you guys are gonna have a blast... I just know it!
Lastly but not leastly... I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience so freely here... you probably don't know it, but in doing that, you not only help yourself and your family, but you've helped many others... me included... it's not often you hear from someone who is much like yourself... and every once in a while... bing... that familiar bell rings and there you are....
Toodles for now,
Take very good care...
