Thank you. Just what I needed to hear. I'm home now and feeling somewhat better. Proud that I didn't call H to try to "change" his mind.
I am going to do my very best to find some joy in this holiday season. I know that I will have many sad moments. Maybe even a lot more sad than happy but as long as there is something good I'll consider it a plus.
I think I will write a response like what you posted and place it in my phone case. And when H calls, whether it's as soon as we ring in the new year, or a ge days later I will have it ready.
