Wow, RW I can't even imagine.

It sounds like you are dealing pretty well with the emotions this (your H reaching out) must be causing. Of course you are going to be on edge and confused.

But as I am posting several days later, you are probably a bit more settled in your feelings.

I'm looking forward to hearing all about the housewarming.

Forget the handcrafted pillows and inks. I'm sending you satin sheets; a Japanese silk screen to stand behind and throw your satin dressing gown over; and a pair of mules with maribou feathers.

Now, that's a housewarming!

Enjoy!
