Hi, FY! I've been wondering how you are! Your special copy is reserved. Lipstick kiss on the first page and everything :-) I don't know how I am going to send it to you, but we'll work it out. Your words are always so uplifting. Thank you. Joe and I spoke again (about insurance.) I only had five minutes bc I had a phone meeting to participate in. He told me my mom called him on our anniversary (after he and I had spoken.) And my mom asked him to not tell me anything about it. So guess what he did. He said he had been "nice" but he thought my mom wanted to make him feel guilty. I said she probably just wanted to say hi. Turns out he was right. :-) I've been dreaming about Joe every night. I think being lonely the past few days might have something to do with it. The bad memories keep popping up, but I intentionally replace them with something different. Lately, I've had a feeling that I won't want to marry anyone else. That I'm better off alone. But at the same time I crave romance and the company that a romantic partner can provide. I miss having someone to share my day-to-day stuff with. I miss that connection. My goal is to do more social stuff (not just write day and night) so I can actually meet new people. I think making new friends is what I need at least until I'm 100% healed.
