Happy groundhog day...not sure if he saw his shadow... Have to tell you about h coming over...first I saw him a t church as he walked in to choir and he gave me the biggest smile I have seen from him in a long time...the pastor had asked me ahead of time if I would help serve communion, so I held the bread, and h came in my line and as I said my line"the body of Christ is broken for you" again h had a wonderful smile about him..I was so moved for helping and then to have h respond to me was great. He called a while later and asked if I had remembered he was going to come and do our taxes and help daughter with hers..I said yes, he asked if it was ok to bring his laundry too, I said sure..so he came..I kept busy baking, he did taxes, helped d, then she went to work...I came back downstairs and sat down to watch movie..h was finishing up laundry and leaving, so i went to door and he laughe and asked if I wanted him to lock door, as the movie is Signs and it looks scary..I said no, and here is where I went out on a limb, but I asked him for a hug....he gave me a very nice, tight hug and off he went..It felt soooo good. I will be careful not to expect too much too soon....but guys, this is the first contact in months..he seemed ok about it. The patience thing is paying off...the changing some old stuff is paying off...changing me is paying off..most of all h has had the space to work on himself, and that seems to be going in a positive direction..So I will hold onto my hug and pray that more good things will come...yet the little pesimistic that I am, will not allow myself to think that all good things are going to just start happening...I still have to act as if he may never come back home.. But, I did have a glorious day.. Sue
