When I say bittersweet I mean I enjoy the times when she is more open and giving and comes out from behind the proverbial wall she has erected but find it extremely painful when she withdraws and goes back behind the wall. I know I should expect this and I give her her space when she does withdraw. So far she has always come back out and I know this is good!
She totally missed seeing the card on her messy nightstand so I sort of had to point it out by commenting on all the things she keeps on the table. She then saw the card and apologized for not seeing it and told me she could walk down the street, pass her own mother and not notice her. This I know to be true of her so no worries on her not seeing the card. She would have noticed it eventually. She opened it and laughed at my opening joke and told me the card was very sweet, said thank you several times and gave me lots of hugs and kisses, so I guess the reaction was good. WE are going out on our date shortly so I will write more about my 180's later this afternoon and let you all know how the date went. Wish me luck and keep praying for me. I pray for all of you everyday too!
