And now the end is near

And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life thats full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Thanks Frank (Sinatra). That song just seems to fit my divorce situation. I have no regrets when I look back. I did my best and made some mistakes but like Frank says, too few to mention. I loved with my whole heart, I gave all I had to give. In the end, it wasn't enough but I'm proud to know that I gave my all. So from this point forward I am going to try and stop looking back at what I've lost, and try to look forward to what lies ahead and what I may gain.

John will always be in my heart and I really wouldn't want to change that. He was my prince when I needed one. I just didn't know when I kissed the frog, that his prince status would only be temporary. So onward and upward and may we both find what we're missing.
