Hi Andy,
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to talk to you this morning. It was good to see you at the meeting. Hope you are doing well

So this text makes me feel so good. Wow, just out of the blue she texts me. Total ego shot. So I text her back.

Hi Valerie,
Yeah, I was thinking this might be your weekend to work. I liked your share. I realized that friendships with those in program are the safest. And attempted friendships with those outside are not as safe which is why I am sitting here kind of licking my wounds. It was nice to see you as well. I will be up with my son in Durango next weekend. I hope that one of these Saturdays we'll be able to talk after the meeting. Hope you are doing well also. Sorry for the long text.

After this text I didn't get anything back. "Let go", I tell myself. And so I do.

Hi Andy,
I thought I had replied to your last txt. Sorry about that. How are you?

So two weeks later I get this text. However; in the previous text there was really nothing to respond to.

Hi Valerie, That's okay. Thanks for asking. It's nice to hear from you. I am doing well. How are you?

So I text her back again. This time I had asked a question but got no response Again, I tell myself to let go and so I do.

Hi Valerie, I responded to your text last Saturday. I am wondering if you got it. Was going to ask you this morning at the meeting. It was nice to see you. Hope you are doing well.

I did! I’m so sorry I didn’t reply. I’ve been super scattered and not feeling well. I had hope to talk with you after and was meaning to txt you today when we didn’t get to talk.

No problem, I understand. I was just wondering. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. hope that changes. I am pretty scattered myself.. I have a wonderful scattered story - might share that next sat. Hope we get a chance to talk at some point.
