...Brenda really wanted to be with the guy in Kentucky. She had developed a great relationship with him, had spent a lot of time with him, and felt she knew him well. But his debilitating depression had seemingly ruined everything. Communication had dropped to near zero.
I suggested to Brenda that she take a few tips from me, and I ended up becoming her full time relationship coach. She felt secure doing that, listening to me, making her daily contact with Mike according to my instructions. For my part, I was confident. I felt strongly that given enough time, and the right approach, I, acting through Brenda, could bring Mike back to her.
Each day early in the morning I talked to Brenda, and we made our plans for the day. It was apparent to me that the whole thing would take some time, probably months. Brashly, I told her she'd be married by Christmas.
It was slow going, but gradually I brought Mike around.Lifted his spirits with the solid support of true friendship, then began dangling the bait. And oh, wht bait it was. Brenda was a real beauty, in all ways...
The days went by, and the weeks, with little or no discernible progress, and oftentimes Brenda and I got frustrated and impatient...but onward we slogged, as Christmas approached....to be continued...
