Thanks Lin and Punkin -

Today S and I drove to meet my middle D at college. We went and took a boxing class with her! What a workout!! Recommend it to all.

Good day with kids. Went and picked up my mom to stay for a week or so. She is about ready to turn 70. She absolutely drives us insane - but she wanted to come help and I could use some help organizing. She smokes 2-3 packs a day and always sneaks cigs in the house - my S is asthmatic and has allergies - but she doesn't care. Woo Hoo!

Back in my hometown - saw extended family - they are completely stunned by the situation. Have known H for 28 years and to all of them he was the most dedicated family guy they had ever seen. Just let them know - he is searching for happiness. Just sad.

I woke up this morning around 5:40am / began thinking about H and his limited communications. Takes seconds to send texts that he does to kids. Maybe calls them once in a while. I realized that time was a huge issue to H. He is now in charge of all of his time and chooses to share it with no one or with strangers. I think he has always felt that I stole his time by seeking family time or couple time. I don't think he could ever forgive me for that. He only wants to share his time when he wants to - and when he is doing all the things he wants to do. Now he has it.

Just thoughts.
