My W texts me Sunday morning to see what time she should meet. I told her that we will meet at her office at 4:30pm and go from there. (I made a choice to start taking control of things instead of saying, I don’t know, what do you think). I arrived early and she stated that D3 is sleeping and that we should all ride in the car together. I said, sounds great. We get into the car and I prepared myself to be strong, confident, and happy. NO PRESSURE. My W then asks how my mom has been doing. I gave her an update on her progress and what is going on, etc. I make it a point to inform my W that we may be canceling the Disney Cruise and going on a 7 Day Hawaiian Cruise instead. (My W has ALWAYS wanted to go to Hawaii). It is her loss! My W asks how much the tickets are, I told her to not worry about it, I did this for D3 so that she could have a good time. My W stated that she will purchase snacks and pay for parking. I said that is not necessary, yet she insisted. I said, okay. W said that D3 had a good day today watching Twelve Dancing Princesses about 3 times.

We then arrive, D3 is still sleeping and I carry her into the arena. It is so HOT outside, yet I enjoyed every step carrying D3 in my arms. I was walking a few steps ahead of my W. Not consciously doing this, I noticed that I seemed more in control of myself and taking the lead instead of seeming needy. We sit in our seats and I put D3 in between us. D3 didn’t want to sit in her chair and she was fussy. My W then decides to sit in D3’s char and sit next to me. Throughout the show, my W had her leg against my leg and I noticed that she had her head almost on my shoulder for a little bit. I was just being calm and not reading into it too much. After about a half hour, D3 is doing great, enjoying the show, I am being silly, and keeping a smile on my face the entire show. I was really having a good time. My W started to make comments to me about the show and she was laughing a lot. She really had a great time. I was thinking inside of my head that she HAS to see that she can enjoy herself around me and WHY not do more with me. We both had so much fun. During the show, my asked me to take a photo of her and D3, I said sure. Then she asked to take a photo of D3 and I. I had a big smile of confidence and expecting the best. My W has not yet e-mailed the photo to me. Maybe she took the photo to frame it for D3’s bedroom and to give me a copy of the photo. I am sure that she will look at the photo and see D3 and I together and maybe think with her heart and head instead of her emotions and reconsider. Who knows?

W then drops me off at her office to get into my car. I gave D3 a BIG hug and kiss and told her good bye. Thanked my W for going and told her that I had a great time. She said thanks and she had fun too. I then left. I will be going to pick up D3 in less than an hour and I’ll post more on what happens.

I am a little confused. I know that things won’t turn around over night, I really feel that the event yesterday may have planted some positive seeds into our marriage. I could not believe how much my W was laughing and making comments to me. I didn’t want the night to end!

Please provide comments!

Thanks, God Bless
