Journaling...

My W called again today after I left a message earlier. This really kind of surprises me. My W usually rarely returns my phone calls til I call her weekly on Thursdays. So this is quite unusual for her to call back.

I told her I had permission from my boss to go on a pass and travel to link up with my W and children for that religious ceremony for my S12. She appeared genuinely pleased. I told her I'd like to spend an evening or two with the boys before they head back home to her parents. She didn't say much other than she'll see if there is time. I didn't insist, but I made it clear I really would appreciate some time with the boys.

Anyway, I could still sense the "defensive" posture and the angry/hurt voice of my wife...

My wife calls again this evening! This time she wanted to tell me that the religious ceremony will not happen this weekend because the bishop was out of town. Kind of disappointing. I was really looking forward to seeing the Boys again. But I kept my cool on the phone and regained my upbeat voice as I told my W that "it was OK...We'll do it next time, no worries". My W sensed I was bummed, but I think she was pleased that I was positive about it. Her voice was gentle and calm...my Wife's normal voice.

I asked her how school was. She said she had a test the next day and needed to study. So we ended there and said bye to each other. WOW, I talked with my W three times in the past 4 days...That is a first for us after 14 months apart. Again, I have to refocus and not read into any of it. But I thought it was great that she initiated all the calls. I'm impressed. What does this all mean? Any input anyone?
