I am flying high. He called tonight and I didn't expect it. In fact I almoa missed it I was on the intternet (one phone line) and my cell rings. ANd he apologized for calling me on my cell he forgot that he had told me he would call me on the regular phone. I of course told him that was fine as I was on the computer. I wouldn't have missed his call for anything. <P>We talked about his dad who should be getting out of ICU tomorrow. His heart has been beating too fast and they were suppose to do somekind of electrical shock to get it to beat right but they didn't have to.<BR>So FIL is looking good.<P>We chatted about the house, he is going to try tocontact the agent to talk about taking it offf the market. We talked about his car. We talked about computers and chatting. And his email is private (unless she knows how to snoop which means she she has been lurking here LOL) So I told him I would send him some cards. YES!!!!<P>BUt when he had to hang up he said those grand workds we want to hear so much. He said I love you first!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<P>Then he told me he would try to call me tomorrow and if he couldn't he would for sure on Wed.<P><BR>I am trying to keep my feet on the ground, but it certainly hard.<P>I know there is still a lot of work and so many mundane things to deal with. Money, jobs and all that stuff. But I was feeling down espec. about jobs and money and paying bills. Just to hear his voice made me feel good again.<P>I just had to tell someone so why not a whole group of someones who would share my joy. All of you here.<P> <P>------------------<BR>di<P>

Oh Di!!!!!!!<P>I am so happy for you! That is a big thing and it feels so good to hear them say that again! I feel so bad I haven't e-mailed you back yet! I have had too much going on around here! <P>Your h is getting closer and closer to reality again! It is such a relief! I am thinking of you and hoping it just keeps getting better and better from here on out for you and your h! <P>I know it is really hard to wait for them to come back. I hate it because when I tell people that he says he is coming back, they ask, "Well, why is he still living with the other woman then?" They just don't understand! Of course then they start making me doubt it too. Not fair! <P>I know people must think it is crazy that my h wants to wait to come back until he gets a new job. BUT, I understand it! He knows that if he moves back now he will still have to work with her and that will cause nothing but trouble. SO, he wants to wait until he has the new job and then leave her. You know, make a clean break! Be done with her all at once. So, I am praying to God that this job he is looking into comes through for him! <P>How do we all do it? I think the only thing that has truly helped me through this is this place and the support of all of you wonderful people!<P>The word for the month is PATIENCE!!!!! Di, I am so happy for you! He is definitely coming around! Take care of yourself! Treat yourself good right now and maybe we will soon be swapping messages in the recovery board!<P>Woozy

My dad had a bone marrow test this morning but we won't know the results until Thurs. He also has an electrocardigram on Thurs. also. Thanks for your prayers. They are appreciated.<P>Nancy, I wish you could be in spring too. I know that sometime you too will come out of those dreary winter times and you will be in the bright sunlight of spring. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight.<P>------------------<BR>di<P>

Oh, honey! I am so happy for you. It is very important to try to keep your feet on the ground, but you have been waiting so long to hear those words. Celebrate a little. When you are alone in your bedroom and know that no one will hear or see - do one of those "Oh, what a feeling - Toyota" jumps. <P>{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}<P>I'm praying for your continued good luck.
