It's been an adjustment which I've been dealing with since the summer of 2014. One moment is all it takes to turn our lives totally around. Excellent entry for this challenge.D.G.

What a sad, sad story, Yolanda—and one that plays out, with small variations, in so many lives all around the globe. I have a friend who, while on vacation with his girlfriend in Chile, had an accident that left him in a coma for several months. He came out of it, but never recovered fully... And, yes, the relationship didn't survive. I can't help feeling a bit of disdain for David, although rationally I understand he has no control over whom he loves (or doesn't). Very well written, Yolanda — thank you!<br /><br />Happy holidays to you and yours, Yolanda...
