Thanks for your reply. My update is on my thread, too long to go into details here; however, I think we are slowly getting there. H initiated a "date" last week and we have plans to go to a baseball game on labor day. H has also started to include me on running errands that he could do alone.
Glad to hear your class went well. I hope if H and I "make it" that we will use our experience to help others just as you are. I would love to help out with Retrouvaille as we attended it in jan. nik
