She left - My Story, First Post

[gogofo]

This weekend wife had to teach class again but my MIL was sick so she couldn't take the kids. I went over to get the kids from her house early on Saturday morning and we actually had more of a conversation than usual.

We talked about her work and her doctoral classes and her spring break that is this week.

Then she actually asked me a question for the first time in two months. She asked how my grandma was feeling. I know it wasn't a question about myself, but this is the first question about anything associated with me. It was something new for her.

Then this weekend she sent me an email with a link to a short movie from Spain, where her family is from, with the message "I thought you might like this." Again, the first "friendly" email in two months.

Then last night when I sent a text about how the kids were, her family has been sick along with the kids at day care and the W was sick too, she started to offer up some details about herself. She even sent me 8 pictures of the kids with the last one being a picture of her with our youngest asleep on her shoulder. Again, something new for her in the last two months. We had shared a couple pics of our kids, but none with ourselves in them.

On her last work trip she was supposed to meet a friend from college but was ditched. She also said she was "gone too long" which was rare to hear her say, especially for a 3 day trip.

Don't know if these changes will last or have anything to do with her last trip out of town. I think she may be thinking about our situation now and allowing some emotions to be felt.

I do realize that things can change today so I will just enjoy these different interactions as they were, different. Maybe in the future I can look back and see that it was the beginning of a change, but not getting hopes up.

I had an awesome weekend catching up with old friends and my brother to record a music video for a friends band. Good times and a great GAL weekend. I am just going to keep doing me.
