Irish,

I'm glad that your D14 is doing good and her appointment is right around the corner. Hopefully you will get some answers and will know what comes next w/her health.

I'm also happy to read that St. Valentine's Day was a pleasant one for you and the girls.

As for your xw, yes, she's poking her head out once again and is trying a different tactic to get info. Sometimes they are nice and other times nasty. It will be interesting to see if she holds steady and starts doing what she needs to do to reconnect w/her family. Time will tell.

As for the last sentence, she's basically stating that she wants you to rebuild the bridge that she tore down so that she can walk across it and be in her daughters' lives. Unfortunately, she's not grown enough to realize that no one can do that for her...she has to do that herself. Also, you've been traveling your path a while and have taken care of not only yourself, but your daughters. It's not like they are infants...they are growing up quickly and don't need their dad nearby, i.e., like you would have done if they had been infants.

You are wise to not respond to this last message. Leave her to stew and think a while. She'll be texting again very soon.


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.
