How are you? I am glad to see you are getting along okay. This all takes so long, doesn't it. Soooooo looonnnnggg. But there will be an end in sight, that I know. ... I understand that feeling of having good interactions and then watching them walk out the door. And the tears that follow. What you are describing is one of the reasons I could not have family time of friendship with H when we were separated. It hurt too much.
Hugs, Blu
