No less than seventeen emails...I think it's a record that is never to be broken.
I just counted them, and it's 9 from her and 8 from me (not that it matters).
All small stuff, most one-liners, a couple longer ones...but really nice and a good feeling of connection throughout the day.
I don't really count it as a baby step, but she does have days where she is more likely to stay connected with me...and it looks like today's one of those days.
