Queen, I am glad you returned to post an update. Take things slowly, keep your expectations at zero and remember...this is a brand new friendshp/relationship. The old one is long gone.
Best wishes and I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Good luck!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
