Don't know why, Rob, but your description just made me tear up, big time. So yeah, does your W know how lucky SHE is? *grin*
Hmmm, that's difficult to say, sometimes - W can be a "glass half empty" kinda person. But, hey, *I* know how lucky she is - that's what matters, right?
Had fun at dance class last night. I still remembered a lot of it, and am finally really getting the hang of "leading"! W struggled a bit with being told to "loosen up but still maintain tension in her arms" - all at the same time, which she finds totally contradictory. Gotta try and help her get the hang of this, 'cause she tends to take constructive criticism a bit too personally. Fortunately, I think I "get" what they are trying to tell her, so I'm hoping I can help her get past this little hurdle and enjoy it more.
I'm seeing W a bit tense right now - her protective maternal side is flaring up big time with concern over D16 and her reaction to the whole tragedy thing. (D16 does tend towards Drama and very emotional reactions to stuff.) This is all understandable, just need to let W and D16 each work through it. The choir will be performing again at the girl's funeral on Saturday - hoping that they'll start to get some closure after this week, and life can ease back towards normal a bit after the weekend.
Going out to dinner with another couple tonight (3 of us have birthdays within this 2-week period) while D16 is at band practice. Looking forward to it, need some FUN!
