Thank you all' it's nice to hear some encouraging words. Quick update as I wait for my flight home for the work week. I had a blast. Didn't think too much of W. As this is the second time I visit family without W. New normal. W did cross my mind, as more of the family knows we are separated. I told my college aged cousin of the news. He was surprised but didn't pry. He simply asked the question most of my family asks "are you moving back?" No. just because my relationship did not work doesn't mean I run "home". I'm a very capable adult that lives my own life. To my surprise W called me last night. We had no actually contact for two weeks. I was out with the family and didn't notice for a little bit after. No voice mail and no text. It must have not been important. I didn't call her back or asked her what she needed. I'm ready to go home and knock out this work week and come back with family. I had a lot of one on one time with my sister and my niece. Overall an exceptional visit. Oh one thing I did notice is my new laid back attitude and just enjoying things. It did make my sister less stressed I am starting to believe more and more that if you (i) change for the better then it brings out a change in the people around you.
