Opti, Glad to hear things are going well for you. Its a pick me up to see things work out, glad I looked in this forum. I'm in a similar situation (military separation) and curious as to what types of e-mails and sometime phone calls can help develop a kinder R since I think that is the direction for me to head to next(jokes?, small talk?, work?, kids?,) . Spouse will be coming for an Xmas visit in a few days and am hoping things will seem like the old family again. Don't know what directions conversations may take but would be nice to have an idea of when we can all get together again. Congratulations again on your progress. RJ
