Day started off great as I as awoken to the sounds of text messages from D9 wishing me a Happy Valentine's Day and I love you messages. :-)
Last night D9 called me and it was clear she was upset. She finally said that she didn't like it that I wasn't home with the people I loved on Valentine's Day. She wanted to see if she could come over tonight to bring me a gift. Of course I told her. :-)
That conversation and a later one with D11 made it clear they both are rather sad about the separation and Valentine's Day. But you know what, I focused on the positives here, the unconditional love between us and I told them that.
My wife asked if it was ok if they came over to drop off a gift from them. She later clarified from the girls. I told her sure thing. So they'll be over this evening to drop it off and spend a bit of time with me. But no dinner plans.
This morning I learned my mother went to the hospital 2 nights ago with unknown issues involving her legs. They still don't know what's going on but there is a suspicion of a pinched nerve in her neck. She'll probably stay another few days. Incidentally she was in FL helping care for her twin brother who just had surgery on his neck!
I did call my wife to tell her and she greatly appreciated it. She's planning on calling my mom later. My mother loves her like her own daughter and I think my wife feels similar about my mom.
Now some bad thoughts, I have a suspicion she's now dating and involved with someone or is interesting in someone. She's grown noticeably emotionally distant but still maintaining a friendly demeanor. She's now online at night until fairly late by her standards. She's evidently going to her room and even the closet at times to talk on the phone. This is bothering the girls especially how my wife will go to her room after work and before dinner to "relax". She'll close the door tell the girls they can't come in, take her computer and phone with her. I know all this because the girls came to me about it. I told them they needed to respect mommy's privacy, let her relax after work then when she's ready they'll spend time together.
Still I'm focusing on the good in life and honestly am having a great day otherwise!
