Sweetheart, first of all {{{{{hugs}}}}}
No, you did not get a card. You got an entire several hours of pursuit instead.

This is just my take and God knows I could be completely wrong but it seems to me he seems pretty interested in people tied to you and to you also (hbd in the am and did you have a nice day in the evening ... no one who isn't missing someone does that)

I think D's rejection has maybe shaken him out of a bit of the MLC stupor. Don't forget it was also his wedding anniversary too. Just because they're in MLC doesn't mean they don't feel something on these dates. My D group leader (a psychologist) pointed out that even the people leaving are dealing with grief and loss of the family and relationship.
Does it mean anything beyond this? Time alone will tell. He's still baking you see, but it certainly seems to me that you - and by extension your family - are on his mind.

Honey I know how it hurts to be in contact with him. I KNOW! {{{{{hugs}}}}} It's ok that it hurts. It means you were committed and you loved your husband. It doesn't feel good, but it's sadly a normal part of this. So if you can, try to embrace that you're a lovely soul who knows how to commit and love another. Please don't lose sight of that in the midst of the hurt.

You were so looking forward to your Caribbean party! Dig deep Coly, because you deserve a lovely celebration of your birth with people who are able to show up in person. Someday that crowd may include H or may include someone who can also commit and love another the way you most need. Only God knows and it's in His time sadly, not ours, but don't waste this day. This is YOUR celebration and you deserve it and every happiness.

I'm sending you love and massive birthday {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
