Friends,

I appreciate and admire all of you so very much for standing for your M. I thank all of you for your support and understanding, the kind words, the wise advice. I don't know how I could have made it without you and all the others I've met since this ordeal began. The Lord God has blessed me in this time of woe by putting good, kind people like you on my path.

The Sun still came up this morning. Life will go on. I know where I stand in this great big world. Time to keep moving forward.

I definitely jumped the DB'ing rails this morning. My two S's are always up at the crack of dawn. I called the hotel room where W is staying with OM. W picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

I said absolutely nothing -- I turned the speakerphone on and gave it to S7 and S3. My two boys know nothing of what is going on, so they greeted their mother and wished her a good morning. They tried to engage her in the typical words they exchange at these times, what they're doing, that they love her, to have a good day today -- as if nothing was unusual.

W was calm, maintained her cool demeanor quite admirably (I must say), but she kept telling each of our S's that she loved them, and kept repeating it to them. I still said nothing (don't feel I can now talk to her ever again at this point) and let S7 hang up the phone.

With no word from me, I know I got my message across. She will interpret it to suit her warped mindset; I expect that. But she now knows that I know.

I have cried quietly this morning. Passed my sniffle off as the lingering effects of my cold when S7 looked at me. Lots of hug therapy today.

Keep moving forward.
