Can’t move on?
I am puzzled. What does moving on means? When can one say that he can’t move on or he has already moved on? Do I strike you as someone who was not able to move on?
After being exposed on national TV because of my letters to my wife, there are not a few who said that maybe it’s time for me to move on.
Move on?! Again, what does moving on mean?
One fellow told me, “You’re still young, you can remarry. You need to MOVE ON. It doesn’t mean you have forgotten your wife.”
There’s one interpretation of MOVING ON, getting married again. Is that really what “moving on” mean?
One comment that I received says “I don’t think this is what your wife wants you to do. She wants you to MOVE ON, take care of your kids and your future. Stop this foolishness!”
And I take it that the comment meant for me to stop writing my letters and ‘get a life!’ so to speak.
In my 43 years of existence in this planet, I never lived based on anybody else’s standard. And I’m not going to start now. I don’t think their definition of MOVING ON suits my own… and quite frankly “I don’t give a damn” (I always wanted to say that!)
I have a life. I am happy with my kids. Getting married again is not my priority and me going to stop writing my letters is out of the question.
Who would know what my wife wants? You think you know her better than me?
Fortunately for me, there are more supporters than these naysayers. And these people, though I may not reply to them directly, has given me more strength to continue with what I’m doing. People who see beyond skepticism and believe that there could actually be an internet in heaven.
As for those people who insist on their definition of moving on, I’ll say “thank you very much, but by your standards, I’d rather be stagnant!”
