See those BIG smiles and the feedback the friend of wife is giving you should all be seen as baby steps for you from her. Now granted if W knew the friend was relaying these things to you she would probably flip out so don't ever say anything.
Keep it up. Don't sweat her Bday. She will have another next year and you can doubley celebrate then since I know your situation will be better then.
