Over the holidays I had a few people approach me and tell me that they haven’t  “set me up” with people because they thought I was still in love with Duane …

1. i am 
2. i will always love him 
3. he’s dead
4. he died a horrible, painful death
5. i cared for him through it 
6. i’m moving forward
7. i will always miss him
8. i write about him and our story in hopes of helping someone else
9. i have dated
10. i continue to date 
11. i don’t want to be alone forever
12. judging me doesn’t help
13. you have no idea what it’s like 
14. i am moving forward 
15. help me out
16. stop judging 
17. i am so glad you have no idea what this is like 
18. recreating your life is hard
19. help a girl out 
20. im available 
21. im moving forward – with or without your “help”
