Bob,

Its possible, but its also possible she may never see them. Its hard getting to the point where you accept either possibility happening, but your doing the right things as best you can. Its out of your control, but you should still be proud of your efforts. Keep moving forward, you got this.
Hello Fogg,

Thank you for the encourgement!! It means so much to me, Fogg.

We never have a cross word and W is often very upset , this does nothing to help with my detachment

Re the phone , perfect , you did the right thing in my opinion You tried to pay but couldn't Leave it at that and if W ever mentions it again you can tell her what happened

Take care Mate. Your doing well. Rd

Hey Mahhhty,

I wonder if that is some sort of "unofficial" record for this forum?

Most of it is probably me rambling on....LOL

I think part of the problem for you here Bob, and for us all, is for us to do our best and put the rest up to God. We, as humans, seem to be driven to problem solving and just sitting is hard for us all.

Just have faith that whatever is best for Bob will be what happens. Of course I say this knowing that I too am struggling with letting go of the outcome and just live the journey. Zephyr made a comment to me about finding out what makes me happy. His comment is much more elegant, feel free to check out my thread, but it was very thought provoking for me.

*hugs*
