Thank you so much. I appreciate your support. It did feel really right to call him like that.
The "new" me is feeling pretty good. I can see good things happening with many of us right now. I can't wait until your H come back to you. I can't wait until I can have an intimate R with my H again.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
