PLW,

How are things north? Glad to see you helping out the other posters. You and Casi, (how is she by the way) are 2 great success stories that are very recent. Keep giving when you can.

I'm feeling a little melancholy, seeing as D-day is Thurs. for me. Sad, but I have a clear conscience.

I want to say something that I know you have thought of, I just don't know if you have acted on it. At some point you need to give J alot of credit for stepping up and giving the R another chance. The amount of shame and guilt are huge for the WAS. If he was unable to swallow his pride and admit his wrong doing, you would have little chance to be where you are today. Sooo.... at some point when the time is right, THANK HIM and tell him why. Show him some empathy and understanding that you know how difficult his decision to come home was. It is easy to walk away, the hard part is to walk back. You DB'ed your heart out, and you are furtunate to have turned J's path around, excellent effort!! Just remember that a R is about two people. It takes one to walk away, and two to make it work.

You're an inspiration to alot of folks here. You have alot to share. Especially, hope.

As always, patience, patience, patience.

Steve

Have you had your baby yet? Let me know, I'll be expecting pictures!!!!!!
