I didn't mean to imply you would be "sitting around doing zilch". No way. You do have to remain on the road to healing and you can't stop dead in your tracks every time he throws a little hope in your direction. I thought you had mentioned maybe leaving the area. That's what I meant by "wait". That you would stay a while longer.
