Love the idea of the "plants" sending the email. I have used this, from the 'dogs", on my W with good results. When I do something funny she usually responds. Glad to see she can still laugh at me.
Last night when she called toled her NOT to think about me. What do most people do when you tell them Don't? Psych warfare:)
I hope that your email meets your H with a happy thought of you. I am sure he is hurting too, we just don't see that as we are caught in our own pain. At least I am.
I too wish there were a play book, would make our lives a bit more predictable. We will all be stronger taking things as they come and building ourselves.
