I believe in Miracles

[istherehope]

OK I know it might be too long, but trying to figure out what I can cut from this email...Jody wanted me to respond to the part about "would I really want him the way he is", and that paragraph is in line with what she suggested. Any other thoughts?

"Thanks for your nice email.

I agree we shouldn't force things between us, should just see how they go. I don't need to put a deadline on things. As long as we are spending time together and keeping the door open, then I am content. I am looking forward to getting to know you again.

Thank you for telling me that you miss me. It makes me smile. I like the idea of watching shows with you, taking walks, or whatever else it is that you would like to do. Thank you also for saying that you want to try to work on our marriage. I know you are scared about things going back to the way that they were, so this can't be an easy thing for you to talk to me about.

You asked, would I really want you as you are now. The answer is yes I would, and I like you the way you are now, but sounds like maybe you don't think you're such good company? I understand that you are working through a lot, and may feel conflicted about things. I'm fine with time together and time apart to give you the breathing space that you need.

I want to take X up on her offer to stay for awhile. We can talk later about the dates, logistics etc., but hopefully it's a solution that will work well for both of us. It would help us financially, and not uproot you for the time being. I do miss having financial security, and I would really like for us to be able to pay down debt, your school, and Mexico.

I understand that you feel bad about not being able to be there emotionally for me right now, and that you worry about me, but I am content and am really doing fine. All I need is the physical commitment, and I know I have that so won't ask again! (By the way you have mine too in case that didn't go without saying :))

Every time I hear from you it sounds like you are doing better and better. I'm really glad that you've been able to take this time to find things that make you happy, and to develop some new friendships.

I'm really looking forward to watching that new show with you too. I have not watched anything in AGES. Poland is DISMAL for TV.

Anyway I hope you're doing really well today, and I'll talk to you soon,
