Thanks for that VC, I will get a card, sign it and have it in the car with me, if she mentions anything when I see her, depending on what is said, tone, etc, I have it to give, nothing special, but its the gesture.
I had to drop somethings off last night at my wifes for the kids, I called before and she sounded pleased I was calling round.
Got there, kids were making a fuss, as usual!, wife was just stood smiling.
She asked if I was going to my AA meeting, I said yes, she was pleased and was asking how it was going, did I miss drinking,etc.
I told her I felt great, I don't really think about it anymore, I just get on with things and don't drink, that is me now, and I'm happy. I even throw in I was out on Tuesday night and didn't drink, just diet coke, never said where, or who with!
She seemed genuinely pleased, we talked a bit more, kids, work, etc, then I said I had to go, said bye and went, I maybe wrong, but I felt she didn't want me to go at that time, she seemed a little upset when I said I had to go, not sure, but I'm not getting carried away!
Everything is good, I feel great, kids are happy and life moves on.
But when I was speaking to her last night, it hit me again how much I love my wife, really love her, and all her faults!
But for now that is out of my control, and she is not with me.
It upsets me, but it won't impact my life too much.
