My W appears to be getting more involved with the kids again which is fantastic. She was "present" at our sons cub scout award ceremony, made an delicious cake and was very enjoyable to talk with.

Our youngest plays a musical instrument in grade school and has an upcoming concert next Friday. Since that is the weekend that my W has the boys I asked her if she wanted to take our S up to the school earlier before the concert starts. She replied (via TM), yes and she is sure S13 would rather wait with me until later.

Other good news is that D15 is going to start spending the night at my Ws place Thursday nights and she can take the bus in the morning (or my W can drive her) to school. They spent all day Saturday together, getting my Ws hair done, buying my D makeup, having lunch, and talking a lot! I haven't seen my D this happy in a long time!

On the downside, I was extremely depressed today, especially after the kids all went out to the park today with a couple of friends. I found myself getting into a bad place, feeling very hopeless about her and me. I know that there is no way I could know that. I miss her so much. I miss our friendship. I always felt (and she said it out loud) that we would always be a team and we were fortunate to have each other.

So now I find myself trying to get myself back in a mode of looking forward.
