Father’s Day turned out to be a fantastic day. The kids were up early, they brought me their cards and gifts that my mom helped them put together. My W sent them money to get me something for the day. She also sent me a nice card that said, “the kids are blessed to have such a wonderful dad”.
I sent her the following TM:
M: Good Morning. Thank you for the father’s day card. That was sweet of you.
W: Good Morning! Enjoy your Father’s Day with the babies…. J
I followed that TM by asking about her mom, since I hadn’t talked to my W since last Monday. Her mom is in a rehabilitation center recovering from her hospital stay. Thankfully her health is improving. I surprisingly received a TM from the MIL wishing me a Happy Father’s Day. I told her thank you and let her know that I was glad she was doing better.
As I was in the middle of typing this, I received the following email from my W(my heart dropped):
Good Morning…
Can we talk tonight about the flight arrangements for D8 and S5? I’m planning on having a “Welcome Home/Birthday Parties” for them when they arrive on Saturday, July 16th and need to send out the invitations.
Thanks
Oh boy, here we go. I haven’t told her that I am getting ready to file to keep them here. I sent the message to my L to let her know what I have going on. I knew this was coming. It looks like I can’t hold her off much longer.
