Am I kidding myself.

[Hopefull2]

Interesting end to a very emotionally challenging week at home. I was able to spend sat night with my W and two grandsons. A lot of small talk, job situations, talk about the kids, some laughing and no relationship discussion. Earlier in the week I commented on the nice shoes W had bought for her work, she had mentioned a month ago that she had spent more than she should have and bought herself some comfortable dress shoes. She joked to me and asked if I wanted to buy her a pair in brown. Note to self!! I bought her a brown pair and put them in a nice Valentines bag with a single red rose and baby's breath. Before heading to the airport I stopped by Wifes place and gave her the gift. This truly is somewhat of a 180 for me in comparison to the H that took W for granted for so many years and neglected making Her feel special. We talked over a cup of coffee for about an hour before I had to go. After several hugs I said why not and asked for a goodbye kiss. She accommodated with a warm kiss goodbye. She texted me later thanking me for the shoes and the rose. Some back and forth texting followed. After my flight I turned on the phone to a text MSG that was very encouraging. She encouraged me that I would be fine with my move and to remember there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And said who knows maybe someday she would come visit to see what it's like in my new state. She thanked me for our conversations and said there would be many more.

I know keep the expectations low. This is my marathon.... One step at a time... Be the man that she will regret losing. Note to self, whether it is with her or some other beautiful woman, make her feel special and appreciated.... Often
