XW and I now communicate by e-mail or text messaging. D8 exchanges are very short....Having other interests really soften the blow. A year ago, I would have spent the better part of a week thinking about and writing about this here. Today, it is really just journaling and none of it sticks. So time heals all wounds and another interest may be the balm neccesary to bring the skin back to normal. Had a great weekend as I was able to spend quality time with D8, GF and her daughter who is 11 and also snuck in my weekend golf game. LJ saw some late action Saturday night / Sunday morning which I will blame for my bad front nine (44 / 37 = 81). Oh yes the daughters got along great and I spent 3hrs. with them playing baseball while GF was in a meeting....next weekend they already have a day at the stables planned.....giddy yap!
