Hi all, I read this forum alot and have a fondness for the regular posters in here but rarely post myself.
I thought I'd share a positive story with you all if that's ok.
I've had a huge amount of hurt in the past couple of years, I lost 3 members of my immediate family and never thought I'd get through.Tonight, in the Arctic Circle, in a glass igloo under the stars and Northern Lights, I proposed to my lovely Girlfriend.
For the first time in a long time, the future looks brighter and the darkness is fading slowly.
Proof for anyone going through a tough time, in time things get better! :)
