2long, you are right and I appreciate the pat on the back about me not starting a fight. We'll I suppose I would have been more pissed if she simply put "1" will attend. So I need to be objective. And no she didn't sent this back yet. By the way she got the card and called and thanked me. She said, "oh, is it a song". Impenetrable, I tell you. I really like the idea of renewing vows. Once she completely defogs and you both sit down and write out the new vows in harmony. Sounds like a real marriage doesn't it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> (there I figured it out)

2Long,
Congrats on your progress - and if it's not progress with your W, at least your "good cheer" seems to be returning, which makes it progress all the same.

Got an email from my W this morning.
The company she used 2 work for got the contract for fu2re work on the stuff she used 2 do before she left 2 years ago (and for which RM was a consultant). The company HF works for, that proposed 2 take over the project, didn't get the contract. So, RM won't be consulting for them, and my W won't be working for them (on that project, at least).
She said "at least you won't have 2 worry about that!"
I agree. Though I would rather she made the choice herself not 2 put herself in2 a position where they might have contact again, like SS said once "What does it matter HOW she got 2 NC, so long as she gets there?"
We can focus. That's something new that we didn't have before.

Well, what she did say is better than some of the things she could have said.
This is the wrong thread, but is there a funeral? If so, when?
I probably won't be able to go, but was wondering.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

SS:
She's been a lot less cynical lately, coinciding with the beginning stages of the fog clearing.
My sisters and I are talking about a memorial service on the 27th, maybe, or possibly just a reception. He'll be cremated, like my mom was. I don't do funerals. They're grody.

I must have not been to any you have been to. The ones around here can be really good. Fun, sometimes hard, but good. Remembering can be fun, if the right person does the remembering out loud.
Fog clearing is good. Can you get some fog horn music, and play it next to her pillow at night?
Just kidding.
You look good in flowers. I like the new Pics.

I should clarify.
I've been 2 many memorial services. Those can be good (though hard). No caskets, open or otherwise. Receptions at someone's house afterward, always good, positive, and enjoyable.
I've ben 2 one open-casket funeral. A good neighbor when we were living in our previous house (the kind of guy you'd stand by the fence and chat with about cars, politics, even religion, for hours at a time on a sunny weekend afternoon). He was the guy I got a lot of my favorite colloquialisms from, like "He could afford 2 burn a wet mule".
I guess I thought that I could elect not 2 view the body, but they propped him up so you could see him from the back of the church.
I guess that's my definition of grody.
When I go, throw a party folks... ...I'll be busy, vying for my position as #1 daisy-pusher in the bone orchard!
