Thanks wawpioneer...I've also found that I can recognize more now when people are putting on a strong face but feeling down within...maybe cause I've seen that look in the mirror so often lately.
W called today, just to see if any new news on my uncle and to ask where her mail is. Very short conversation. She's stopping by to get the mail, but I'm not around so I won't see her. Haven't seen her in close to 2 weeks.
I felt really down after talking to her. I know in my head patience is a necessity, but I'm frustrated by the slowness, the lack of progress, all I see is her looking forward to a future without me, just have a feeling inside that she'll never change her mind. I too was very excited about our future a couple months ago...much less excited about the future I see without her. At least I'm going out with a friend tonight, maybe I'll feel better then.
