Sitting in my house all alone...

[Navyguy]

Well, just got back to DC. Had a great time with the kids. Had a talk with W yesterday...well, mostly I talked. Just told her how sorry I was that I wasn't there for her over the years when she needed me most and that I understand why she feels the way she does right now. I told her up front she doesn't need to respond and she didn't. I think she really listened and heard what I was telling her at face value. Goodbye today was as hard as I thought it would be. D5 was sad and then I started crying and so did she. After a hug with D5, W actually looked at me and reached out for a hug. First time that's happened in a couple years. We held it for quite awhile and I just said thanks for everything. Well, back to DBing here from 2000 miles away.
