H. did call this morning, and wanted to let me know how to use the snowblower. I was pleasantly surprised by this, as it was considerate of him. He said when I was ready to use it, call him back and he would tell me how to do it. He said that he wasn't going to be able to get over here to our house (or he'd do it himself I think). Anyway, I didn't even need to call him. As I was shoveling my way to the car, my neighbor came over with his blower and between the 2 of us, we cleared my driveway. Very nice guy; he helped everybody today. I called H. back to let him know I had help. H. was driving, taking his brother to the train station. (So, BIL was hearing this conversation). H. asked what else was going on; I told him not much; I was going to clean up from being outside in the snow. He said, "Ok; well, I'll talk to you later." I'm curious as to what BIL thinks about our situation, and what H. is telling him. At least he knows H. & I are in contact. BIL knew about o.w. before I did, and he always got along very well with me. I know when he found out about o.w. he kept quiet for his brother's sake but H. told me later that he thought H. was crazy and had lost his mind. The reason I mention this at all is because BIL is a big influence on my H., and I am sure a lot of our WAS's have family members in their lives that influence their decisions and actions. It gets you wondering what kinds of conversations our WAS's have in private with these family members, what is said, and how much of it is true. Just thinking out loud this afternoon.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
