Yes, I stayed in contact, trying for an email every day, and maybe a call once a week. I would sign the emails with "love", and look carefully if hers were signed that way also, gauging things. I tried to stay in the kids' lives by e.g. sending my daughter a chapter of Sherlock Holmes (whom she likes) audiobook every day one trip. I sent flowers last year, though not on any particular day (e.g. Valentine's). Once, when she was on a business trip to Japan, I sent a romantic telegram to her at the hotel, apparently quite the stir with the bellboy having to find her.
The odd thing is that I've been told that I am empathetic on numerous occasions, typically by taxi drivers, whose stories I like to hear, or by a Russian guy I know. I don't feel a natural at keeping things going, however.
DB coaching session early next week. EE down payment made.
I'll think more about this - am quite tired now from two lousy nights of little sleep - more tomorrow - thx - L
