I wish I had more of an exciting update. H. didn’t call back last night. He was working, so it is possible he got busy at work and couldn’t call. Also, he had told me he was working a day tour today, so I assume that is why I haven’t heard from him this afternoon. I thought it would be best to let him make contact first, so that he calls me when he is ready to talk and has the privacy to do so. I keep thinking this must really be bothering him if he would go to the trouble of calling me to tell me that he is having a hard time with this and is depressed. I can’t tell you how much my heart hurts for him today, knowing he is troubled. I realize he needs to be, after all he has done, and this is good, but still, I hate to think of him feeling so badly. For now, I’m demonstrating patience and hoping he speaks with me soon.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
