Betsey,

I have a very similar relationship with my ex as you do with Mr. Wonderful. It has made life that much easier actually since the divorce. We remain on the same page in all of the major decisions, especially in regard to our two daughters.

Do you think Mr. Wonderful may be possibly re-evaluating his relationship with you? What would happen if he decided he wanted to propose you consider reconnecting? Would you be interested or has that ship definitely sailed? I know for me, even though I appreciate the positive relationship I have with my ex, I would never ever want to go back to that. I'm happy with the direction my life is going - of course having a significant other helps as well! :-)

My thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family. I pray your brother has a peaceful passing from this life to the next.

BA
