THANK YOU, GOD! THANK YOU ALL! We found it. And I am SO relieved. Restoration of value is nice, but what's really great is just the peace of mind.
Here's a couple lessons I really, really hope that I've learned well. So I'll share this wisdom:
1. If you really need something done properly, then probably do it yourself, or at least be involved. Don't delegate anything that could cause damage to a relationship if it was messed up. My marriage wasn't in danger because of this, but it certainly could have been
stressful.
2. If it's important then take the time to do it right. Don't do a "good enough" job because you're allowing yourself to be rushed. If it's important, then other things can wait. Even those things that might normally be important, if you've got something MORE important, then prioritize it!
3. Sometimes it pays to take another into confidence. Not sure we would have been successful without my new daughter-in-law. We are sooooo blessed to have her!
Thank you all again for your intercession on my behalf. This has been 6 years of mental anguish - relieved in a moment!
