Hi Law. I read with Zadalia a couple days ago after I reached out to my POI on Thanksgiving. I didn't have any contact with him for 6 months and took the leap of faith and texted him to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving. She immediately picked up that there had been some contact. It was funny because I read with her every few months and she knew I refused to contact him since May. She told me "I pick up some contact. I don't know what that means, but that's what I'm seeing." I told her I reached out and she said "well, that's a surprise!" He is showing as "grateful" because it happened at a time when he felt particularly alone. She said it cracked the door open and she thinks that there will be more contact before the end of the year. For the first time in a looooong time, Zadalia felt positive progression for the relationship. She doesn't sugarcoat a damn thing, so I'm feeling cautiously optimistic. She is great for the present, but I ignore her timeframes. She usually gets short term "outcome" but the "when" it will happen is sometime off with her.
