She stopped by again today for a little while. I got to hang out with my son for a bit, then they had to leave. I helped her carry some of her stuff down to the car, got him loaded up, and then...she gave be a big hug. Then she squeezed tighter.

I really hope this stuff is working. It seems that it could be doing something good.

I know I'm going to be a better person either way this turns out.

But she seems at least a bit more willing to see me now.
