Hi OpenHeart!

Wow, it sounds to me like things are really heading in a positive direction for you! This is great!

molliew's been giving you some great input. DO just hold the letter for now, "maybe" there will be a time in the future to share it with her. For now, though, just keep revising and adding to it, and keep it for yourself.

I'll have to be on my best behaviour and not press, not pursue, not talk.

Yes, don't try to take things too far, too fast.You don't want to scare her now, do you?! She's got a lot to process now too, just the same as you do. Maybe try to keep it light for now, and above all, have a good time together! Create a "safe place" for her to be right now, so she'll be ready and willing to come back for more.

Try to stay out of any R talks. It sounds like you've layed a lot out on the line already, and as Michele says, "Unless she's deaf, she heard you the first time"! If she initiates any R talks, learn to listen, and listen to learn.

Have a great time tonight! Doing yard work together can be a great way to connect!
