W asked if she could go to church with D4 and me on Wednesday, and of course the answer was yes. That took guts for her, because she knows that there are people at our church who know what she's done and is doing. She had D4 over that night, as I think she left OM in Florida for a week with his mom. She was over here and watched a movie with me last night (her idea) and we snuggled a lot -- definitely romantic -- and she ended up spending the night in the spare bedroom.

I asked her on a date for this weekend, and she said that she really would like to go but she has to be out of town again and won't be back until Tuesday -- "not by choice," she said. I'm thinking that OM is spending a little time with his mom because he won't be seeing her in a while, and W is going to be picking him up and taking him whereever he needs to be to report for duty.

I still don't understand how OM is going to do this. He has been so emotionally needy that I can't imagine how he can make the decision to leave W. He tried to call her 8 times last night while she was here and also left 3 texts (very light snooping -- I didn't read the texts or listen to the messages, just glanced at the phone early this morning). Do you remember the time I took my W to the ER, and OM tried to call her 14 times in just over two hours? How is this kid going to cope with the withdrawal?

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
