Newcomer requesting advice

[JR09]

Traveldane,

THANKS for the reply. You made my day with your encouragement. One year is definitely a long time for me. But I take it one day at a time. And that's how I am able to cope this far. I even surprised myself with the amount of resiliency I have after one full year of separation. Someone told me that I WILL know when it's time to stop the wait. Well, I haven't felt it yet, TD. That's why I still hang on to the hope that my W will one day welcome me back.

I don't know if you read my thread. I still talk with my W each week as well as with each one of our boys. So that's still a blessing. When I called my W last THU, I extended an invitation to her to join the boys and I for a couple of days if she wanted to. She didn't say yes or no...just remained silent. I didn't push the issue, although deep inside I sure wish she says Yes so she can judge for herself how much I did change during the past year.

I hope this finds you well,TD. Many thanks for taking the time to encourage me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I'll check back again soon.
