Husband left me 3 months pregnant...

Babydoll I agree that "sprinkle" is so clever! BUt I am very happy that you had some gifts and celebration for your baby boy- aren't you glad you did?

About the nun...trippy! And like you, I am more spiritual than religious but I believe in God. Maybe that nun was an angel! (not because she was a nun but because she showed up when she did, with a message, and has been praying for you!)

I have been debating with Citygirl on my thread and am reminded, yet again, that none of us would benefit from getting our Hs back in the current state they are in. So setting the bird free is a good analogy not just because when you truly love someone you can let them go but because the bird that returns is the original one we married and loved and wanted to be the father of our children.

(maybe the bird we let go is kind of "sick" and "skittish"- you know, the ones who are disoriented and flying erratically?")
