Riding the storm out, or at least trying to!

Hi tvs,

I could hardly wait to read your writeup of yesterday's events so I read it as soon as my H went in the shower. Then I teared up so much I didn't think I could hide it and was worried he would think I was crying about him and me! Lol!

You got an anniversary present I didn't get. Despite the beautiful restaurant, show and all that....my H barely smiled and ... no teeth either. He saves that for when he is drinking with his friends. But YOU my friend got a really special picture!

I'm so glad he was able to act mostly normal, socialize and noticed your new outfit. I totally understand the desire to look at the pic thoroughly in private. It gives a little glimpse into the feelings your H has at times for you and the boys.

With cultivation, this little seed and plant of love will grow.

Eric Clapton:

Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow.

How wonderful for S3 (already!!!) to look back and have a lovely memory for his birthday.

And congratulations for putting the hurt aside of H not mentioning the anniversary of the day before. You are a special mommy indeed

And no visible texting during the party? What a relief!

I'm happy for all this. I know the time frame seems long. But I can tell you, despite my complaints during this reconnection phase, it's wonderful to see the one you love, changes and all...working through their depression. And perhaps a beautiful R down the road.

Keep smiling tvs!

Hugs,
