Thanks to PnT, I found your new thread after my long layoff.
Happy belated Birthday, my friend - hope it was great.
Looks like you've been cruising along pretty nicely, with only a few minor dips in the road.
The letter CAW wrote to your sis is HUGE! Enormous development in my book. That's another sign of her reaching out to connect and bond with you - don't lose sight of that.
And remember what you told me...her "misbehaving" on occasion (being withdrawn or yelling at you) could be her poking the "monster" with the stick to see if it's really dead. Let it go.
Keep dancing buddy - you're a regular Fred Astaire.
