Update:

So this week was uneventful. On Saturday, she was at work half day, so I shot her an email wishing her a good day at work and that if she didn't have any weekend plans, I didn't have anything concrete to do with the girls and so she could come over or do something together.

She just emailed 'thanks'.

Saturday night when she calls to say 'goodnight' to the girls, I mention that she was welcome to join us at Mass Sunday morning and a movie after.

She said yes to the movie, but that she would call in the morning to see if she would make the Mass. I told her not a problem and that if she wanted to go to church that was her decision, but I would still ask her to join us if she wanted to.

Sunday rolls around and she calls to say that she will be coming to Mass with us. So I pick her up and she's quiet once more. She tells me that she went to bed at 9:30 and got up at 8. At Mass, she was quiet once more, but she did go up to receive Communion.

Afterwards, we had lunch and went to see Shrek 4. It's a bit ironic, but the whole moral of the story in Shrek was that you should appreciate the family you have and that you never appreciate something until it's gone.

There's even a line where Princess Fiona tells Shrek "you have a home, friends and children and a wife who love you very much. The only person who can't see that is you." I did a side glance at my W at that.

After the movie, I took her back to her sister's and had a great night with them.

I should add that as the day progressed, she did open up more and started talking like we used to. It's so weird how I can see her slowly emerging into her old self, but she's still really depressed (thus the sleeping all the time). I also did a bit more touching like on her shoulder or hugging her and she's been reciprocating a bit more and not pulling away.
