Thanks for taking time to reply Michelle. Me being the optimist that I am I should look at this as a positive step, I just don't want to scare him away again. Also, him being the pessimist that he is, for him to be showing positive signs about anything is rare. I'll keep up what I've been doing like you said and see what happens. There's a saying my son and I have acquired through all this. "Take care of today as best you can and yesterday and tomorrow will take care of themselves." Sometimes I forget to do that. Thanks again for your help and support. You're great!!!
