I returned back to CO last night. The link up with WAW went well to hand off kids and bags. I held it really well during the whole time. I was about to break down and cry, but I kept it all together til my W and kids left to drive back to ID. Then I broke down and cried.
I noticed during the linkup that my W got all dolled-up, looking really nice. I don't think it was for me specifically, but she really looked nice. She also didn't mind coming close to me as she comforted one of our crying boys. She would have never done that 6 months ago. When they all got in the car, I wished my boys and W a good trip home as I was leaning on my W's side of the car. She didn't seem to mind it at all. Baby steps...

She also called me while I was driving back to CO. She never calls me, maybe twice in the past year. But she called even if it was just to complain that I spent too much money on the boys and they didn't need to be so spoiled. She even called again today to ask about some instructions online. Anyway, maybe I am making all this up, but the W has been nice lately since I told her a week ago that still love her very much after 1 year of separation...

Anyway, I'm back alone with my good dog companion. But I am not as mopey as I was maybe 6 months ago. The DBing skills of getting myself right are paying off.
