Exactly!

All his conversations of late have revealed the softer side and his ability to listen, consider and respond. This is the side I him that I have really missed.

I have no intention of mentioning this at all, Sanderika. I commented on it in relation to my mum who not too long ago wanted nothing to do with him at all but now has softened and opened her heart to him.

H has told me to be patient. I might know the rules Sanderika but I will need constant reminders

It could be that he did not expect that question and at least he didn't get angry or defensive. Anger and defense would have told you proof positive that she is still around.
I think she is gone too but my cynical and untrusting side needs to know. Good suggestion that perhaps he didn't expect this.

Several texts tonight from H about D and her swimming.

Thanks again Sanderika and thanks for watching out for my posts. Know how much I value your opinions. I hope and pray that you are travelling along ok.
