Great inspirations stories, as always -- I never tire of them, and that Hospital Window one was dynamite! Thanks!
Don't know about my ability to provide any insight, but it is interesting that the ex stepson was friendly to you if he hasn't been in the past. One thing is for sure, hope is definitely not lost after a D -- I've seen and heard to many stories lately about exs remarrying each other. Combine this with our consistent DBing, and I'm confident that we increase our odds dramatically. Keep up you hope and patience -- sounds like you're doing an excellent job of both!
