My ex, whom I love and care very deeply about, reached out to me after 6 months of being broken up and 4 months of no contact. Our break up was amicable, and our relationship failed because of his past and needing to co-parent a child and having feelings for his ex partner. I was left quite sad, and heartbroken, but always remained kind and cordial and maintained boundaries - unfriended, never texted afterwards, and let him be. Today, he sent me a message randomly out of the blue saying that he found an old postcard I sent him for his birthday, and he was thinking about me and how I am doing. In the postcard, I had written something saying that this year will be so much better for him since the year before, he was struggling with depression. And so, he wanted to update me on that, which was a very random act, lol. He was very enthusiastic to hear where I was with my career, and we spoke of his son briefly whom I also adore. Right now, our texts have been quite limited as in, not texting back and forth, and that's ok. I'm perfectly ok going slow and rekindling the friendship for now. But, I have no expectations and will not initiate like I used to.

What do you gather from this and what advise can you give me? I understand this isn't us getting back together as this could just be a nice gesture. I'm not dating anyone right now, and I don't think it's wise for us to jump into anything until I know for sure we're ready for this because the break up was a lot for me.
