'When the world says 'give up', hope whispers 'try it one more time'.
You can have all the HOPE you want just NO EXPECTATIONS.
Start thinking of you H as a squirrel that you are trying to feed. You can hold your hand out with food in it but you can not make any sudden movements towards or away. If he comes and eats that is fine but if he runs away that must be fine too. Just continue to be still.
You know if you let something go and it comes back to you then it was yours but if it never comes back then it was really never yours to begin with.
I think you did fine with your interaction with him.
