NYS, you know how much I respect and value you as a, well, I guess mentor in all this. It's really great to see you back here sharing some pretty interesting/good news. You served your time and then some so it's nice that you return to let people know that even after it's "over" it's not really over.
Ever since your last thread, it seemed like things were moving towards this. It's almost like that process Michelle describes of the WAS noticing the changes we make just took your xw a LONG time to complete. Now, she understands that what happened to you, the changes you made were not only permanent, but for YOU. If they were for her, or about her, then obviously you would be a different man today than a year ago and you're not. You're the same man you started to become then. As you said, who knows where this leads. The important thing is do YOU want her back in your life beyond the friendship she seems to want to foster?
