Ok now for the update of the day. I was driving back from Brooklyn not expecting to talk to W at all when I get the following text.
W "How was the party?"
M "It was really good!! I meant to thank you for suggesting it, all I had to do was pay they did all the work. She had a few more kids show up than expected ugh. How was your weekend?"
W "Well I'm glad it was good...It was a good weekend. Too short..better to have too many kids show up than not enough.."
M "yeah she had a good turn out. I hope you are feeling a little better this week"
W "I am thank you...Sorry about last week"
M "Sorry for what? I enjoyed our conversation very much"
W "I just feel like....Hope this makes sense...I just feel bad..I don't want u to know when or what I'm down. And I have to be strong and I can't depend on u to make me feel better and need to be a strong independent person..Does this make any sense? So that is why I apologize...I'm glad the party was good I gotta get back to work...Hope you have a good afternoon"
M "Of course it does. Maybe I've never told you but I respect you so much! I admire you for the strenght that u havae not just now but always. When I was deployed you were my rock! Getting Daughter you were an inspiration to me the list goes on an on. I just did a piss poor job of telling you. Regardless I hope you can talk to me. You are much stronger than you believe"
W "Thank you"
Too much? Just right? I really wanted to validate her feelings I know she is hurting I just don't want to over load either.
