Despite Sprout’s hesitations, we are scheduled and looking forward to meeting the much discussed BM in a few days. Some of you asked if his response would change our decision to meet and the answer is no. Mostly because it’s an adult decision. Though I value his opinion and feelings, my intent was never to ask his permission but to respect him enough not to do it behind his back. Thankfully, he gets that. And the good news is that after time and discussion, he’s on board with the plan. It was a good opportunity to explain how tough decisions can be made from a place of fear or one of hope.
I have no idea what to expect from the meeting but I am glad we are here after so much time. In his usual too-wise-for-his-years way, Sprout has gifted me a very important piece of advice: “Do not hug her. And remember, she’s going to feel nervous.”
Seriously. What would I do without him?
