NLT, The words "he has to do this" reminded of my xh saying the same thing. In fact he said "I have to do this right now. I may be making the biggest mistake of my life, but I've got to do it." Many of them say this and it really does sound like the death bell is tolling in their minds, i.e., time is running out. It is very sad.
You sound like you've got a very good handle on your situation and your dinner went well. When he parks at your place, does he work near by?
I'm sorry to hear you had some clean up today, but I'm sure your place is beautiful. I'm sure you enjoy those sweet little hummingbirds. It's always fascinating to watch them. We have Ruby-Throated, Broad Tailed and a few of the Rufous Hummingbirds that flit around. I've planted a lot of flowers this year w/the colors of red, orange and yellow. They really go for the red ones.
I'm glad to read that your daughter wants to have some plants on her patio. She may enjoy taking care of them and watching them grow and yes, have a few little visitors too. She's going to do well in her new environment and she will make a lot of friends that will be true friends to her.
Enjoy the drive.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
