Thanks Rouky, Gmum and NYGal. I saw it as a good sign too but just don't dare to hope. I still can't really believe he sent it. He came round for literally 5 minutes this afternoon on his way to work. All he did was tell kids he would see them tomorrow and then stood awkwardly in the kitchen as I was emptying the dishwasher. Eventually he said that someone at work's relative has terminal cancer (his Mum died of cancer in February). I just acknowledged that it is awful and then he left for work. He can't even look me in the eyes when he says goodbye. Guilt I guess. So strange to act like that after texting happy new year only a few hours earlier.
