H just left. He took care of the yard, then we had a cocktail and nice surf and turf lunch. He stayed and smoked a cigar (one of his gifts from me for his b-day), and we chatted for a good long while.
I had posted happy b-day on his FB page last night. He clicked "like". Then, later on, he removed it, but left everyone else's b-day wishes there. His GF probably didn't like it. Oh well. I know you all will tell me to stay off social media. I'm not there yet.
I miss his companionship so much. I'm trying not to think how he will spend the rest of his b-day. I'm sure I don't really want to know.
He shared how he had such a good time with the kids last week. How S21 gave him such a heartfelt b-day card, and wrote a very heartfelt, personal note. He said it almost brought him to tears. D19 had one here for him. Nice note that almost brought us both to tears. It was a nice moment we shared.
When he left, we hugged. I told him I missed him. He told me he missed me too. Then he left.
I need to fill the rest of my day with activities so I don't overthink our interaction.
It was pleasant. I'm thankful for that.
I didn't initiate any R talk. I'm thankful I had restraint.
