I know you already know this but......one day at a time. Don't look back and try not to look too far forward either. Take every day for what it is....a gift. You know how fleeting happiness is, having lost it, and you know not to take anything in your R for granted ever again. Great lessons for all of us, right?

I couldn't be happier for you! I love reading about the things you are doing together, the time you are spending, and the rekindling of your R. In regards to what you perceive as the lack of romance, you said you really didn't have that much in your R before, right? Since that is something you are desiring, make it happen. Slowly. Do something very romantic for him. Hopefully he will take a queue from you eventually and reciprocate. If he doesn't, and you are feeling comfortable enough by that point to speak to him about it, DO!

Again Ali, I'm tickled pink that you are getting this chance that so many of us dreamed about for ourselves for so long. It's a miracle that anyone ever makes it to the other side of this disaster.
