Hey Opti! I thought you had jumped ship! I just found this thread and then backtracked to the previous one to catch up.
I'm thrilled to see things going so well for you! Huge congratulations on your writing successes!
It is great that H is now calling you often. Can I just say, "I told you so". Now that he's reciprocating, I bet you're not keeping score as much regarding who is calling who more. Be sure to slip it in that him initiating contact like that means a lot to you. You don't have to make a big deal about it, but a little "oh, I was just thinking about you. I'm so glad you called. You must have read my mind." will let him know that you enjoy this contact.
So, is the plan for you and your son to stay put in your house and commute to H 3 hours away when there's a chance? Does he go offshore for long periods of time? I know it's not exactly what you wished for, but in a way it will give you guys time to rejoin your lives without going from 2x a year visits to togetherness 24/7. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
