You acted like one cool cat. I agree with Christine, keep on validating. Your W is noticing. Often times those comments are made when they have nothing else to hold against us because we are being good friends and good people. Your actions are noticed and effective. Same variations on the too little too late BS. Does your W know there is a movie called Miracle? Great flick.
Don't let those daggers penetrate your suit of armor. Be the pleasant, kind, gentle guy you are but not patronizing, pretending, or acting. You know what to do, you are doing great.
