you did such a good job at pretending you were happy. you faked the smiles so no one would catch on to your pain. you invested in him and his self worth. you always gave him credit even though backstage it was all you behind his success. you were his right hand and backbone. when will you realize, now that he is gone, you can take all the credit for the woman you always have been; strong, courageous, determined, and successful? you put it all in him. now it's time to put it all in yourself.
