I must have lost myself somewhere in my relationship with Ed.  One day, I just couldn’t recognize the face in the mirror that was looking back at me.  I told Ed I had to get away, he was not so happy but he was cool with it.  While I was away I had to update him so that he wouldn’t worry.  Although daily communication was strained I knew that we need to be connected anyway.  After three weeks of reflection I got recharged and healed somehow.  When I got home the first thing I said was tthank you.  The trip was really refreshing and I came home a better person.
