Yeah - I keep feeling like I need to "do" something, but I would figure now would be an ideal time for me to quietly glide back into the woodwork for a bit. I probably WILL give her a brief response to her "I'll never understand why my leaving was the only thing that worked" remark. Truthfully, I almost put that in the letter, but decided against it. Outside of that, IF I elect to do it - I figure I have little else to proactively say at the moment. I can just hope that she lets everything kind of soak in.
I will say this, though - her admitting that she is "deeply heartbroken" kind of explains why she lets loose with a touch of anger on me every now and then.

Holy canoli, Crimson! Talk about divine intervention. Not only did the judge not show for your hearing today, but your W has extended an olive branch, heck it is more like an olive tree!
This is really a fantastic development! Take it slow, expect nothing and hope for the best. Be careful not to over do it. Just take it slow!

Good, stick to your game plan. You have a lot of people rooting for you.
Maybe I should write a letter. Could you post the template?
Lol me too! Here's hoping things go well for you - first good thing I've heard (ok, read) all afternoon!

Crimson...this is such great news....you have to go to the counselor with her!!!!! Pls stay calm and don't overwhelm her. This is your chance to let her speak, listen with all your heart and show her the strong loving man you are. This is such good news. I'm praying for you and your family. Keep all you have learned in the forefront.
Crimson - be cool a about this but I think your ltr, the judge no show, and your W reaching out might mean she is ready to look back to you. now is the time to be cool and let your heart lead. Basically what everyone has been saying for days.....
