Hey GIMA, Gina, and Kara...thank you for your responses and words of encouragement.

Overall, I had a pretty nice weekend. Saturday night was great as W and I took the kids out trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. She mentioned that this is one holiday that we should share together with the kids each year even in the event of divorce. I said o.k. and that next year I'm going to have a golf cart for us to ride around in.

Sunday, we had our 2nd Retrouvaille post session. My W could only stay for half the session b/c of a prior work commitment. I said o.k. and thanked her for coming. At the session, my W was back to laughing and joking around again. We had a nice time again. We're going to miss next week's session b/c she's going to out of town on business. It is what it is...living la vida limboland. My DB coach says not to press so I'm trying not to.

One thing that I thought was interesting at the post session was that my W started her letter to me with "Dear LFH." This is the very first time ever my W has used "Dear" in any Retro dialogue letter to me. It may not mean anything or may have just been a slip...but it was still my observation.



Thanks,
LFH
