Ahh Jo. You just teared me up. What a wonderful family interaction!
I think your shift toward emphasizing the positive w/ Andy really helped to set the table for this dinner (no pun intended). He has responded so well to that change in you.
Your DDs are so hungry for you! Solely focusing on you, what a nice gift to have such a good interaction just days following your feeling so physically ill.
I'm both happy for you and learning from your ability to move mountains with your personal changes.
