Thanks slow_it_down. Friday is going to be a test, for sure. Hopefully it's one of many positive steps. Glad someone found it encouraging.
It was quite a stunning reversal (in a good way) since last Thursday.
It's hard, facing the quiet again today, but like I said, I'm sure it took a lot to reach out as much as she did when she sent the messages about needing me as a friend and wanting to go to a movie. That was always one of our favorite activities to do together.
