So I told H about the accident over the weekend, and that D21 had wanted to call G-pa for money, and I called him first and told him not to give it to her. I talked about how I have really not spoken to D21 and let her know that I was very angry with her for her actions toward H and me. He took it all in stride, and just listened. He stayed for about an hour and fifteen minutes, and we joked around a little more. He left and gave me a hug.

Yesterday, obviously was very emotional day, but he drove me to work. I was upset in the car, and apologized for this mess, and told him he would have been better off if he had never met me. He looked at me and said you know thats not true. Then he said his problem was he had a hard time saying no. I didn't ask what that meant, just let it go. When he got out of the car to pick me up, he came right over and gave me a hug. When I got out of the car at work, he leaned over with his cheek to me, but I just gave him another hug.

He confirmed w/ me last night that he would drive me again to work this morning. Driving me this morning was supposed to be contingent upon his going right into the office because we both work d/t. He picked me up, and we chit chatted on the way about work. Then he really surprised me by telling me something about one of his cases that has a gag order on it. He told me that he really was not supposed to tell me and I reassured him that I would not say anything. Trust has a nice ring to it!

When I got out of the car this morning, he went to give me a hug and turned his cheek towards me again, so this time I kissed him on the cheek, and he held on to me just a little longer (not much, few seconds) and said he would talk to me later.

So here I am now. I don't want to read too much into this, but for the first time in a while, I feel good about the direction we are starting to go into. I have a glimmer that maybe...just maybe...


Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
