So it seems W's sister is improving. Here is today's string:
Me: My Mom, her church family, and I are praying for X and all of you. I hope everything is working out and she is doing better this morning.
W: Waiting for CT results. CT looks good no leaking.
Me: That's great news! Flowers should be there by 2:30 or so.
W: Yay! Thank You!! That's so nice of you! How much do I owe you?
Me: (Attached photo of torn up check for car payment this month). You're welcome. Here is your post dated check. Hopefully money won't be a stress point for you this month.
W: Thank You!! That will def help. :-) That's very sweet of you. You didn't have to do that.
Me: You're welcome. I know I didn't have to do anything. It's called unconditional love, which is all I have and have ever had for you and the kids, despite my prior errors in showing it. Please keep me posted on how she is doing and let me know if there is anything I can do. She is going to be OK.
She'll probably send me a pic when the flowers arrive. I'm wondering if I should send an "I'm thinking of you" message to W's Mom and other sister. Probably going to hold off that one since we haven't spoken in almost a year.
I am viewing all of this as positive interactions with my W. Obviously she isn't significantly emotionally involved with anyone else or she would not have reached out to me in this way.
She knows I have always been there for her, hopefully this unfortunate situation will serve as a catalyst to reminder her of that fact.
