Thanks HoldingOn for the information about the books. I'm not so sure that my H has ever dealt with the emotions of having his father leave at such a young age - so our H's may be more similar than not. We'll have to connect about it further.
But now for some positives:
1. My H came back from fishing on Tuesday night and before even coming in the house, took out the riding mower and did the whole yard! 2. He came in and after the kids went to bed, took a shower, cuddled with me and then tucked me in 3. H, S3 and I took our boat out to see if the motor was fixed and ready to go or not on Wednesday morning. 4. H and I spent much of yesterday and today cleaning out the garage. I took two trips with donations, packed up alot for a fall garage sale, threw out a ton of stuff and I know that he appreciated it! And it feels good for me too!
The biggest positive is that we are going up north to a resort for the weekend - AS A FAMILY!!!!! That's right! My H, our three kids, my D9's friend and me! We are taking the boat and hope to do some fishing, although, he will probably go with 2 kids at a time and I'll be left to watch the two left behind - oh well.
Anyway, it's late, I need to go pack for the kids and I, as well as the food, amusements and whatever else is on my list!
Wish me luck. Say an extra prayer or two. Give me your best DB pointers for I feel like this is a test - one that may move us further along the path to his coming home.
My PMA is great and I feel really good about this!
I'll keep you posted!
