Thanx FY, there is something special about songs that can reach into our souls, isn't there?
I went to my parent's house for Thanksgiving, and I had d20, d17 and s13 with me. My W did a classy act. She came in and visited with my family when dropping off d17. Things were frosty between my family and W during my surgery 2 months ago, when I asked that she not be there. But W was very friendly and chatted with a number of family members, and my family was also friendly.
I went into the other room where the guys were watching the football game. And W came in sitting next to me, wearing a nice black dress and beautiful maroon nail polish. She said she went and hung out with some of her old high school friends last night at the bar where we met. She commented one of the sweet quiet girls from high school went crazy last night - I didn't ask for any further details. Then she said a bar fight broke out (very unusual for this suburban bar), and one of the patrons was sitting at the bar near to them, and he had a beer bottle smashed on his head! W tried to convince to call an ambulance, and all he could say was "I just want to go home."
My parents had 30 people show up for Thanksgiving, and it was nice to see family members I have not seen in a while. Really nice being around those who love and support me (and to eat some great food!)
I am thankful for many things. But I am really grateful to have gotten thru Thanksgiving without any further talk of divorce after Monday's discussion with W.
