I dropped the boys off today at the house before work (retail is the marriage killer) and she was nice. I didnt linger just said hi and bye. No questions about the trip and she didnt mention the gift. As mad as she was on Friday I was expecting a cold response. Well tonight she said she needed to bring the boys over because she had to go to work extra early. When she called I let my mother answer the phone and when she came over I let my mother answer the door. She came downstairs where I was and started up a conversation with me!!! I was stunned. She talked about her day and asked about mine. I guess as long as I take care of the boys and pay the bills I'm her friend. I have to wonder if the money went away how she would react? But small things are big steps on this unknown path with an unknown end. I have another gift I want to give her. This gift is not mean spirited. It is a few pictures framed and a message about why I still hope to fix this marriage. I think that next week would be a good time to give them to her. My B day is Sunday and I am thinking of giving gifts. My how a life does change with time and trials. Anyone think good bad wouldnt hurt wouldnt help? God Bless
