Stumbling, or moving forward?

[SciDad]

I've noticed a shift in my wife. I don't bring up our R or the om, but she has started to turn to me for comfort in a way I didn't think would happen.

I can't go into a lot of detail, but we recently experienced a loss and I was her first call. At home we comforted each other (not like that-get yer mind out of the gutter) and seemed closer than ever. And last night my wife initiated cuddling with me. Nothing got too serious and everything remained light and fun.

Weird, and I'm not sure why. Maybe the fog has lifted. Maybe my detachment worked. Maybe my attempts to rediscover my former, confident self helped. Or maybe he emotions got the better of her. No matter what I'm happy and hopeful, but have no expectations.

Merry Christmas everyone
