Thanks everyone!

I posted a longer account of the day's activities on my Jessica's Rose Garden thread...

To be honest, the reality of what I did has not sunken in yet. I was so busy yesterday I only had a few moments of the ecstatically happy "I'm finally free!" and the profoundly concerned "What have I done?" There is sadness because after 55 years John is legally gone, but a part of him will always be with me. Jessica has been hidden away in darkness most of her life, and the world is a new and sometimes frightening place to her. She will eventually find her way, but the start of her journey will not be easy. As John's journey comes to an end, Jessica's begins. It is painful and beautiful at the same time.

I need to stop thinking about it for a while or I am going to fall apart. John has to go to work for a few more days before he can tell everyone the news.
