so h sent this text before:
"hey, I am sorry for everything that has happened. You know that I'll do whatever I can to help out whenever I can. As for the money side of things, I'll never keep score on whats been given or whats been received(besides you're about to become a world famous model, and I'll sponge off you then , lol, not the model thing, the sponge thing for the lol.
just vacuumed up all the murray fur, a little tear did pop up..have a great night ssleep, new day tomorrow. x"

so I responded
"thank you for that, it means a lot to hear you say sorry, maybe you could elaborate for me sometime, its hard on all of right now and I truly appreciate all that you do. sad to hear about the fur thing, it would have been aweful. not sure about being a world famous model, I'll settle for getting out of my comfort zone lol. tomorrow IS a new day for of us, remember jesus loves you lol. x"

then he went on to text a few more times telling me about how he listened to me say that he needs to make his house more a home than a halfway house, and that he's putting rugs in, and sent pics to prove it, and that he's thinking of going back to study, all of which I validated and said what a great job he's doing, and even now while I'm typing he's texting me, even though he's already texted goodnight, he's texting me articles his dad kept from when h was born....

what truly bizarre night, but it's really lovely to see that glimmer of h, and really nice to be included in his thoughts.
