Sorry to hear of H's health problems but I'm so glad to hear of the rest of your progress. You two are one of the few examples that the rest of us can aspire to. I will keep you both in my prayers. Something you said was interesting to me as it relates to my sitch.

This weekend I noticed that we kept getting into these little mock tiffs....where we were just joking around about something we were doing; it was a lot of fun. I didn't realize it at the time but it's something that I never felt comfortable doing with him in the past.
W and I do that too but with one important exception. We tend to do it only in public. In front of friends or in the grocery store, etc. It's like we are trying to convince those around us, as well as ourselves that we are the quintessential cute, happy couple. If we were naturally like that as you seem to be getting with your H, things would be a lot less tense. As it is, it seems like an elaborate production aimed at self-deception.
Gone the carvings and those who left their mark. Gone the kings and queens, now only the rats hold sway.
