Imagine knowing that your wait was over - the decision was in your favor finally after all those years of uncertainty. Now you just have to wait for the payoff. And you wait. It may not take the years of anguished waiting that you've gone through already, but it still takes time. That time seems to stretch on and on anyway. Knowing that the moment the funds from your victory will change your entire life make that time between receiving your award letter and actually seeing the money seem as long as those years of waiting magnified somehow. I can only describe the bittersweet agony of waiting for the finish line as tormented and exhilarating.
Time still stands still, but its a temporary condition. I'm ready to move on and let all these years of frustration go. I'm just waiting for that time to come and the weight to roll completely off my shoulders. Bring on the champagne and celebration - just bring it on quick!!!
