Oh, I wish I could have baby steps. I haven't had the opportunity to show off my 180s, he hasn't been around to see them or spoken to me to hear them. He picked up D from school and had dinner with her and his cousin this past Friday evening. While I sat alone in a booth at Outback Steakhouse, pretending to be out and busy and having fun. I was miserable; we don't get to have family dinners anymore. Savor those moments, the little encounters, and keep doing what you're doing...a great job. You're not out of the woods yet.
Funny how other people's situations seem better than our own.
I savor family dinners and anything else that's a positive. Sometimes I feel like a detective looking for anything positive. Btw, our family dinners aren't quite what you'd expect. Usually it's something quick like pizza. The odd time it has been a little more extravagant. And by extravagant I mean steak with veggies. No candles or dining room table. We sit at the living room coffee table or her 2 seater kitchen table. Regardless I savor those moments.
