Divorced Thrd #6/Long Road Ahead

[Mrs D]

Long time no see Carnac!! The game was awesome. Actually the whole weekend was amazing! Ill have to back up to Friday when my dear D came to town. I asked what she would like to do that afternoon. She said she would like to go shopping, but she wanted to know if she could stop to see X on the way to Rockford. Took me by surprise to be honest because their relationship hasnt been good for awhile. So I drove her to the site, he didnt know we were coming. We get there, she starts walking towards him, then starts running and they hug in a full embrace. While she is headed to him, I walk over to the co-workers. Jim says... Whats going in here? (As D was walking towards X) I told him I wasnt sure but she had asked to see X. Jim says.. this is about thw best thing that has happened today. This has been needed ... X and D are headex back to the three of us by this point. We all talk about 5 minutes or so when X says... why don't we head over this way and we can talk more. So the three of us head over to where my car was parked. They talk another 5 or 10 minutes then X says he needs to get back to work. He gives D another hug, then hesitates as if hes expecting one from me. I turned and wished him a good day and started walking towards the car. D gets in the car and states the same thought I had that he was looking for a hug from me. She then says that when she ran to him when we first got there, when they hugged - he said -anything Hey honey. Its good to see you .. but she said his voice cracked as if he may start crying. I cant tell you how warm my heart was with this interaction between them. It totally made my Friday. She ended up going to the homecoming game that night so she could see her old friends.

Saturday, more shopping. Then out for Hibachi dinner with my kids, my two best GFs and their kids. Best night ever in a long time.

Sunday, I drove D back to where her Dad was staying. I hated to see her leave. But I am so proud of her for the person she has changed into just the short time down south. C and I headed to the game from there. Best time ever hands down. I dont think I have seen C smile as much as he did that day. He was alittle upset our seats werent as low as he wanted because he thought he might be able to catch a football if we were lower. I had to explain to him football isnt anything like baseball where you may catch a ball. We left about 7 minutes left of the game to beat the rush. Best day ever for him.

Tonight was my therapy session and I am proud to say my therapist has lifted the NC ban. I asked him if he was feeling confident in me. His reply was No. You are feeling confidence within yourself. And it shows. You are going to be ok. Then he proceeded to tell me that he was proud of me as well how far Ive come. So. Im pretty sure I can chalk this weekend with today as an addition to be one of the best in a really, long time. Happy Monday!
