Well, Whatis has just returned from picking up D11 from her gymnastics class. You will all be pleased to hear that Whatis has been abiding religiously to the P.W.C. Handbook (Parents Waiting for Children Handbook). I can repeat verbatim section 3(i) which states "parents of the opposite sex will only interact when it becomes absolutely necessary and in said cases interaction will not exceed the two minute maximum interaction allowance. Such interactions will consist of pleasantries, talk of children and/or of the event being attended. Smiles and waves are permitted in the parking lot areas only". If I abide by the by-laws for two more months I get my first merit badge! I won't even bring coffee into the waiting area, why take chances on blowing that merit badge...uh uh. I got a nice email from my Pastor today, just checking in on how I'm doing this week re the separation anniversary. He wrote "Those anniversaries are tough things--especially when the good memories they represent are in such stark contrast to the present reality. I suppose they heal as they get smaller in the rear view mirror--but that doesn't always help the present pain. It's important to note, Whatis, that God honors your faithfulness--and He is close in times like that, even though pain makes it harder to feel His presence. It was great to meet your daughters! I hope this week is better" A very nice gesture on his part, it's those small things people do for you in these times that often make the difference. Later Dbers.
