Well... As the saying goes....its not about the giver of gifts that creates the best impressions, its the thoughtfulness of the gift that really counts. After much deliberation, I went ahead with my plans for a Mothers Day and belated Birthday gift for my ex wife...all of which had some tiny thought to it that that reflected/connected directly to some of the very good parts of our past relationship together. I had NO expectations.....and my effort hit its intended mark of her heart. I am pleased to say that she did reply....it was short and sweet...but she did reply! I'm not going to make anything more out of this other than it was a positive reaction. I'm just left here wondering what might my next little move might be?
