Hopalong:
Aww, hon.
He sounds like the answer to the question:
How does the universe design a man for Amber?
I'm so happy for you. He sounds amazing. So many strengths and positive character qualities. So much personality simpaticoness. So much connection with the doing, that is so vital to you. Maybe your outlander has arrived!
Oh my, this is a delicious possibility.
Given my own current track from honeymoon emotional ecstasies to a bit of a crash and pause, I hope you two get to build it slowly, skip the crash and ... build what you need together.
I think he sounds like a wonderful candidate for the honor of, in time, becoming your maybe-mate!
Happydancing,
Hops
sKePTiKal:
There are many many conditions to be met before we can reasonably spend the time thinking about that kind of decision, Hops. (someone please get that message to Hol, too?)
But there's no reason we can't enjoy dancing together, until that time arrives. He's struggling with a D who is a senior in HS this year, pushing the rules a lot in that age-old attempt to break free of parental control. Been a really good kid up to this point; but he's standing firm. I've got the adjustment to Steve being here, in addition to Holly - more space needs of course; and of course THEIR ideas about how to live, etc. Pushing my boundaries and trying to dictate to Mom... so, all this awkwardness needs to be worked through before getting serious about something more.
Pretty soon, it's going to be ME nagging the contractor about getting started on the Holly Hut.
Hopalong:
You sound sane, grounded and in control, (((((Amber)))).
Still happydancing for you, but with respect for the great evolving complexity that is everything!
I mean...he really does sound amazingly....alla that.
But grandbaby coming, new sorta-SIL, and H Hut underway -- jeepers!
You'll do okay. I know that much.
Big hugs
Hops
sKePTiKal:
Well.
New grandbaby not coming anymore. Hol miscarried this morning.
I know; sadness.... but she's doing OK under the circumstances and Steve has been protective and doting on her. He's promised to bring her a surprise today. I might be sadder than she is - FOR her.
Hopalong:
I am so very sorry.
That's heartbreaking.
Mature gravida is so challenging.
I can imagine the joy she experienced at the possibilities, followed by crushing loss.
I grieve for Holly (and Steve, and you).
With much much heart,
Hops
