This morning I received a text from H asking if I needed a lift to the airport. I responded to say yes please but said I understood that he might not want to take us since I also had to pick up friend. He replied "No worries and gave a time he's pick us up." That was a surprise.
With this in mind I've just read Rabbit and GAG's messages and I can see that this is going to continue to be a long journey and that I must focus on the positives along the way and be patient. I think I will keep myself a list of the positives so that I can see that there is progress. Thanks for the advice about Christmas, Rabbit. I'm not sure there is a perfect outcome anyway. I am going to let it go for now...it only came up cos of S's call. Hopefully, there will be a suitable solution between now and December. Interesting, however, was that he was going to fit in around me. I know ow's family usually has lunch. interesting!!
