Interesting update re: the presents. Confusing to know what this is about...confusing to figure out what the boundaries are / should be given your present sitch. Seems like another example of him wanting to maintain some kind of connection with you. You are important to him, there is no doubt about it. I guess the tough part here is that being important to someone and that person being able to bring something to the table emotionally are different though. That's the difficult part for me to (humbly try and) accept in my sitch.
I was thinking of you and wanted to stop in and see how you're doing today. Hope you're doing okay and look forward to hearing your news when you have a chance.
