Sis, Sadly, you won't be able to locate the older profiles that I mentioned in the thread because the board has purged the MLC Forum, as well as others in the last year or so. That thread was created in the early 2000's. The data is still accurate otherwise when it comes to reconnections.
Holidays, anniversaries and special events are the hardest, especially the first year. It's good that he contacts you and yes, he's curious about what you are doing. He wants to ensure that you are right where he left you. Try to delay responding to some of his tests and/or phone calls. Don't always be readily available. His curiosity is high and you want to keep it that way.
Time will tell as to what is actually on his mind. He's moving at his pace and his clock is on slow mode. Always try to keep your expectations near zero because you don't want to get your hopes up and then have him say or do something that you weren't "expecting".
Continue to keep the focus on you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
