Thanks,I know that now. I was being completely self-centered and not taking into account his feelings. It was all about me. I thought that in the 2.5 years he's been gone, he's seen the dog maybe 30 times = doesn't care. Wrong! That's why I had to really sink into it and figure out WTF? Not taking into account his feelings was a part of our original problem.
Sometimes the face that looks back at you in the mirror is not at all attractive.
This could have gone way off track had I responded from the emotional place. I cringe to think about it, it's such an old familiar pattern.
Hopefully I helped to start a new neural pathway last night.
I did wish H a good night and that I hoped he could sleep OK.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
