I had such a good weekend surrounded by my kids and their spouses, then a great lunch today with my special 5 Yaya girlfriends, came home and had a gazillions posts from loved ones on FB, (I'm not a big FB fan except on birthdays!).
While I was at lunch I got a call from a florist saying they had delivered something but since I wasn't home, left it on my front porch. I DID NOT get my hopes up or have any expectations thanks to you guys. But when I drove up and saw it I knew it was from H. He knows how I feel about white roses, and there were 2 dozen, with a balloon and a box of chocolates. The card said, "Leah, I'm so sorry I can't be there. Love, H." I missed a call from him a few minutes ago, then he texted and said Happy birthday. I sent out 2 packages today with the stuff you needed.
I texted back and said OK. Thank you for the flowers.
I had truly decided over the weekend that I'm not going to invest any more emotion in this R. And when I saw the flowers, I honestly didn't feel anything at all. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. But whatever it is, I'm in a very good place today, and SO blessed to have such a wonderful support system during this chapter of my life, (and you guys go right there at the top of my gratitude list!)
