PS, Piecing is certainly an opportunity to practice patience, empathy, and listening.
I couldn't agree more. And all of those things are at times hard to do. That's why we're here... to remind each other of these things... right?
My H has been gone since Monday. All going well so far. We talk about 2x a day. I took a picture of the kids yesterday and TMd it to him. He called when he got it.
Last night, just as I was falling asleep, I got a TM from him that said, "I love you!". It was so nice to read. I was kind of shocked. I wrote back, "How nice! I love you, too!" A few hours later, he TMd, "good night, babe".
We spoke this morning and I'll probably hear from him briefly later tonight. He comes home tomorrow, at which point I'm going next door to my neighbors for a girls night.
I'm trying to keep things light and upbeat.
It's been nice having some time to myself, though.
