Well, looks like things are really starting to thaw out... The ex has agreed to allow the boy to visit me over the upcoming weekend...plus he has ball tournaments.
I had to share this When she had originally agreed to take a drive and be alone in the car with me for a min of 3-4 hours…I was shocked….but I was also very scared and very nervous! I arrived as I always do…somewhat fashionably late….she is sitting on the front porch finishing a beer…she goes inside to put things away and shut the door, and just as she comes back from shutting the door I am at the foot of the steps holding out a fresh cut bunch of asparagus. I say “some men might bring you flowers” but then you know me…I’m just a little different... And that grin couldn’t hide... The rest of that day seemed to follow a very easy pattern of comfortable familiarity…setting both of us at ease. I thought it was a nice way to ask to at least think about becoming a bit more friendly…and leaving it open to exploring a friendship.
After she sent me short little text granting the boy permission to visit...she sent me another note, letting me know that she really enjoyed the overcooked, smothered in butter, fresh asparagus! (her absolute fave) Sometimes it’s not the gift itself...it’s the connection that the gift can make!
