OK, I've been dark for 9 days now, with only in-laws supervising visitation. Today, W took all the cards I had given her! The romantic cards from Christmas, her Birthday, our 3rd anniversary, and several more -- all filled with expressions of my love --were gone when I got home.
Assuming that she didn't take them just to trash them (which would be unlike her), she must have taken them because she wanted to read over the romantic things I had written to her. I can't help but take this as a good sign.
Anyway, her sister is coming in this weekend from New York. W is very close to her sister, but they haven't talked since W left. SIL has told me that she doesn't even know how to talk to W now, since she feels like she is a different person and the W she knew could never do anything like this. W has sometimes listened to SIL when she wouldn't listen to anyone else, so it will be very interesting to see what happens when they get together. I predict a lot of crying, but I'm not getting my hopes up for a breakthrough. I do think, though, that SIL's visit will work strongly in my favor eventually.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
