Nevanna, I used to ask, and it just seemed to build tension. He thought it meant that I wanted to know where he was, who was with, what the conversation was....... and he resented it. I do agree with the rest of your thoughts, creating new, positive memories. Just the other day I even heard H tell an old story that was a good time for both of us. There are little pieces here and there that I could be hopeful about, it's the other big chunks that are so discouraging. At least general conversation is coming back, it's not quite so guarded again.
No more beating horses here! Martha will come back and bring PETA with her!
