This wasn't on the postcard

[BeingMe]

Oh, I doubt the kids think it was your idea ... them small people are very astute. And, you sure are right about not being ashamed of your effort in trying to restore your M. My goodness, Phoenix, you and I have been at this since 2004 (I think I'm right, 'eh?)!!! You have been the wiser DBer, and I don't know what I would've done without your good counsel, especially in the beginning when I was totally freaking out.

Once you come back a few times, your children will get the message that dad always will come back to them. It will be tough on them in the beginning, but you just have to be very consistent, and they will feel secure in your word.

I am glad you had some good day on your own, and with friends. It's good to do things for yourself. It helps to re-energize your spirit for the days ahead.

Thinking of you.
