Hey man, when they tell us to leave them alone...they mean it! It doesn't mean anything other than they want us to leave them alone. I'd do it. I know how tempting it is to pick up the phone, or text them, or e-mail them...just to communicate with them. I believe it's in our best interest to not do it. Believe me, she knows how you feel. She knows that you don't want this. So does my wife. We feel the need to keep letting them know just how much we care for them...and they already know that! I keep getting told that "PATIENCE is everything. Learn it, live it." So that's what I'm trying to do. We have to do more of what works, and less of what doesn't. Even if our hearts tell us different! Let's don't crowd them, let's don't push them, let's be patient. I'll have some good thoughts for you AFWAW.
