Fog lifting = my observation (not a hopeful either, real observation)
We had to really work together (ALL five of us) to pull this grad party together for so many people. H and I really do that well. A good team.
Then, most of my family was there (H's isn't local so couldn't come), and friends that he was comfortable with. He enjoys them all. He enjoys entertaining. He really enjoys having all of the kids around, too.
Late last night, and yesterday am upon waking, he was truly present, more present than he has been in awhile. Seeking me out to talk about the party, the night, how D18 had really enjoyed herself, laughing about our dog livin' large at the party, our S's thinking that they were "in" with the teens allowing them to hang, bonfire, etc... If we were talking, and I would think he was done, and get up to do something else, he would add something else.
He was just more present. We'll leave it at that.
We'll leave it at that
the we'll leave it at that statement sorta leads me to believe you would like me to keep my mouth shut and not comment further..
I'll say this...
have no expectations...no matter what they do..
Until he says he screwed up, wants to work on the M..etc...
anything else...like working together getting ready for a party..is just what it is..
