you know I really felt like trying more contact with my WAS after she unexpededly responded to my bday greeting. I really did not expect her to say anything. Even though it was short it was something to indicate she will still respond to me. However, I am and will keep dark as this is the only option available. As tough as it is on me, it's her journey and I get that. As tough as it is, I can only respond to her contact. And now however, I feel alot better about things by keeping dark. It really does give one the sense of taking a little of the control back. WHich I believe leads to an even stronger PMA and GAL.
