wow Raine, I'm AWOL for a couple of days, and look at all the positive things happening in your sitch! I am SO happy for you! I think that message you sent H probably went a long way in helping him to heal.

I so appreciate Wonka's and uR's advice, to be patient, tender, validate, and mix up a little non-sexual contact for connection. Cause I expect (yes I said the illegal word!) to be able to use this advice myself, someday smile

So, any more hugs???
