Thanks 25. Perhaps I used the wrong word. To me it was more than just the conversation, it was also the whole day. Things felt so relaxed and the way she laughed was like the old days. I hadn't seen her that way since my return from my country. And then, her asking me for a hug on her way out? That really took me by surprise. I'm still not making too much of it. As I said, it's just baby steps towards a few of my goals.
More on this, today I had no contact at all with W but another small thing occurred. D8 excitedly announced that W had sent her a text (as she often does) and in closing, had told her to say good night to daddy for her (which she had never done). In fact, it's so unusual that D8 was excited about it. She told me that she thinks mommy is starting to like me again. I told her that it may be so but that we shouldn't make too much of it and that we have to continue being patient.
