FINALLY SURFACING

[Fartiltre]

Back home after a jolly good time with S11.

A trip like this makes me realize – once again – how much D affects children AND parents.

W texted yesterday and asked me to call since she had news about D7 stomach-aches. I had very poor signal but texted back and told her I would call the today and asked if it was important news. Got a nice answer back stating all fine and not important.

Today I called and she asked about our trip. I told her it had been a blast, some few facts and that we were tired. Then I turned the attention towards D7. W told me that she had taken her to the doctor again and that they had a good indication of what is affecting her stomach. She gets medication for it and it seems to help. This is very minor but nice of W to inform me. I guess I would have informed her when we meet up on Sunday.
At the end of the convo we arranged Sunday when all of us goes to the Cirkus 100km of here.
I told W that we will be at her place at 8am. She then asked if we have eaten breakfast when we arrive. I told her yes and that we will have to leave immediately.

I mindread that this was an invitation all though not a direct one.

A little later I texted W and asked if she wanted to bring her car or if she plans on the train if kids and I stay in the city for an extra day. I had told her that this might happen but decided to text so she couldn’t pull the “You never told me”. She replied “I will just jump on the train :-)”

I'm only at the start of my journey, and you're an inspiration. Keep it up - it's really good to read about successes!

Thanks for the kind words Means a lot!
I do not consider myself a success yet, but time will get me and you there if we do the work. I am familiar with your thread. Keep moving forward and keep working to become the man you really want to be! I am 16 months in and some time still feel that I have not even begun
