So the event was spectacular! I received my 4th last Thursday. My wife posted it on FB and the crowd arrived already knowing and with much excitement. There is only a handful at that rank so it's a really big deal.
All of the sacrifices we made over the last decade paid off in this event. It was absolutely amazing and perfect.
On Tuesday I asked her to stay with me through the event and she agreed. It was very nice and we stayed up late each night excited and talking about everything. It was very nice. Had a very nice leisurely lunch today in a very nice restaurant and then spent the rest of the day resting. I gave out and fell asleep for the afternoon which is highly unusual. She puttered around. When I woke up I was highly emotional about knowing she would leave this evening. It was the first time since our separation. I haven't wanted her to go in the past but today was the first time I felt I would be lonely. I actually don't get lonely ever but I was afraid of it today.
We went for a drive and then to dinner. I mentioned that she could stay and she said no she wanted to sleep in a bed tonight but said she's definitely be back in the morning.
Lot's of hugs and kisses on her way out.
Maybe something more will come from this. It seems to have come at the perfect time.
All of a sudden I want her more than ever but not in the old way I did before.
