So glad you are going to write here Jamie! Hope lots of people will who have learned about rebuilding.

A quick note to Kent: My H doesn't pry or even get very curious when I'm mysterious. You post intriguiges me though because perhaps your wife wants a bit more closeness with you? If you are enjoying the independence then perhaps the challenge is to find a new way to be close? Only know a little of your story. How would you describe where you and your wife are in the building process?

How did you learn about Michele's communication techniques?
