Hope is a strange thing. Sometimes I think it is necessary thorough all of this. Sometimes I think it makes matters worse.
Expectations in check.
W and I texted a little bit today. She had asked I send a pic so I did.
She thanks me and then brings up the weather (I know, but it has been strange here with thunder storms.)
She doesn't usually bring up small talk like this. Usually we stick to D.
She thanked me AGAIN for being there yesterday.
I opened up a bit here. The service was in a theater that held 500. It was FULL. Then my mom told me when she took D outside there was another 200-300 people outside, and they had it mic'd. I told her this, didn't know if she knew. Said some other things about FIL.
She thanked me again with a "so much"
TBH, I'm looking forward to things slowing down a bit. It can be hard with so much contact. I know I shouldn't, but I can get the feeling of walking on eggshells.
As 25 said, seeds have been planted. Now I need to give them time to germinate.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
