Funny thing happened since my last post, and it's weird that I woke up to read the posts sent to me since then, because last night was like the beginning of a whole new life.
After my last post, my wife called my cell to ask me if I would like to join her and our younger daughter at a movie that night after I finished moving furniture into my new apartment. Of course I said yes. I went to her house on time, and left together from there. On the way out, I couldn't resist picking up a little fireman's hat my daughter plays with and put it on my head to ask my wife *should I wear this tonight?*. She said no, and didn't seem to make the connection anyhow. It was a light moment.
After the movie, we put the little one to bed, then I sat on the couch, put my wife on my lap, held her and told her that I'm willing to court her all over again if necessary. I also said that during this separation, our eyes may drift to others, but that those *others* will never have what we have together, that we've experienced some serious ups and downs in the marriage, but that we love each other very much and just need to start at the beginning and rediscover each other. It'll take baby steps, and lots of time, but will be worth it.
Crossing my fingers, folks. It's a beautiful day out here, and I have a 4 year-old's party to take my wife and daughter to. It's going to be a nice day.
