I'm probably not the right person to talk to if you're looking for comfort.
Life is a series of chances we take. All we can buy for ourselves by taking those chances is an opportunity. Not certainty. Sometimes opportunities don't pan out, or end in a way we didn't anticipate.
You moved thousands of miles for love. That takes courage of conviction, which is something many people in the world just don't have. Even on CM, so many people don't even show up for first dates.
If you did it once, you can do it again, even though "it" may look completely different the next time around.
Quality people recognize quality and depth.
I think your story is beautiful.
OK, especially the parts I've bolded I think are some of the most wise words I've ever read here.
WestBay.... I've avoided posting here because honestly, anything I said would simply be trite compared the grief I'm sure you're dealing with. But for what it's worth from a total stranger, I feel for you.
I agree with Red... you had the courage of your convictions... something very, very few people have. I could relate stories from my own life but suffice it to say that if you stick with that, it'll work out for you... really.
edited to add
To the point of quality people recognize quality and depth, we'll skip the question of whether or not I'm quality. But I can absolutely assert despite not being any sort of match for me, I've always read your posts and the words "quality" and "depth" would be fair enough ways to capture my responses.
