First of all for today be the man with courage and integrity that you weren't before.
We have a little saying around here:
You can't talk your way out of something you acted your way into.
The letter and her response is positive. I'm with 25 on that. But you should have no expectations.
And this is over when YOU say it is.
Not because of some judge or a piece of paper.

Act your changes. Live your changes. Whether she is looking or not.
Whether you think she is watching or not. She is.
Be strong today.
Best.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
