Thanks guys. It helps to hear that. I haven't been able to post much the last day or two b/c it's been crazy busy at work.
Quick update. D6's birthday today. BIG day for the princess. She had a great time. Cupcakes at her school with me and W there, then dinner with friends at our house. Cute story - S9 made a "Happy Birthday" poster for D and we taped it to the back of one of the bar chairs. That became the "birthday chair." When the W of the couple that joined us tonight for dinner unwittingly sat in the "birthday chair," D6 (who is not shy on personality or courage) asked her "Um, is it YOUR birthday today?" "No." "Then, why are you sitting in the birthday chair?" Too funny.
Good day. W seems to continue to make a point to talk to me, check on how my day is going, and to ask me questions when we are together. Tonight, when I got home, I was feeling pretty awful (got a nasty head cold) and had to have looked bad, W asked "What's wrong?" This is the first time she has asked me that since the bomb. I explained I was feeling pretty rough.
Oh, and another maybe kinda big thing. Tonight, I held her hand during the blessing, and when the blessing was over, I sensed her holding firmer to my hand - almost a slight squeeze. Little thing maybe.
