Cinders, I'm so happy to read this morning that everyone had a nice time away. You and your children are so close and you described your situation very well....mother hen and her chicks back in the fold.
I think it was very nice of you to wrap up a small gift for the ow. You know, sometimes we have to bite the bullet to pave the way in order to get what we want in the end. In your case, friendship w/your h and also by doing what you did, it shows the children your kindness in a very unusual situation. Who knows, this may be a turning point in your life whereby the kernals of friendship will begin to grow more firmly in the soil of once way. Just keep your watering can handy to water those kernals periodically.
Enjoy the rest of today w/your little family. I'm sure all of you have lots to share w/each other.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
