I'll just keep doing the same, as it seems to be working.
I text her this morning as she was off to the airport, and wished her a great time, and happy shopping (as I did not see her this morning when I left for work early). She would normally send me a txt back, but she rang me instead and thanked me for such a nice text, and was in a happy mood.
I got another one just a few minutes ago, letting me know she was going out for dinner with friends and how excited she was about tomorrow (she is going on a Shopping Tour, to all brand outlets). She also finished with a give my love to DD.
I hope in the future, if she does come back to me, that I may hear the L word again, with reference to me.
It's still hard to imagine 17 years of 100 love u's every day, and 100 calls everyday, to just being excited when I get 1 call a day.
But as we all know, this is a work in progress, and all good things come to those that wait.
