Sandi-

I have no idea who you are but God bless you for feeding lines to my voice of reason. I always value your insight and am grateful that you take time to guide a total stranger in distress. Thank you.

I think she said that because she was hurting being away from our baby for the holiday, even If it was only for the lesser part of three hours. Since she is the one that initiated this whole process it is often hard, if not impossible , for me to imagine that she is hurting, too. But from all I've read it is possible that she is.

She sent me a picture of the baby via BlackBerry Messenger this morning and added a little note about what he was doing, officially breaking "radio silence" I just replied with a smiley - I am hopeful that I can leave it at that for the day.

Funny, at the moment I am writing down some of the things that she complained about and possible 180s for them. Sad part is, a lot of it she will rarely if ever see now that we are living apart. No matter, I have to be a better me for me.

Thanks again, Sandi - you are really helping
