Lunch went well. I fixed her a plate and a glass of tea. Fed the boys. W told me about her plans for the evening, and told me about last night too. Dinner with her aunt and Halloween prep. Nothing too exciting. She told me about having a mild case of food poisoning, what her parents were doing. I did not offer anything. Not sure if she was trying to get me to volunteer info? I was friendly, but vague.

It sort of felt like old times. I will try not to read anymore into this. I easily could get my hopes up.

Had a great time at basketball. W coached a team while I sat with s4. Then lunch. Then I coached a team while she watched. I haven't laughed like that in a while. And it was real! I miss being with my kids all the time. And their group of buddies are very fun too.

All in all a great day. S6 went with a friend and S8 is going for a sleepover. So s4 and I are going to live it up.

I hope the last few interactions with W will allow me to see that candlelight that I hear others talk about.

Keeping fingers crossed, and trying to keep expectations low.
