This is the last day I spent with my husband. Tomorrow he goes in a residential rehab program, and then I will be living alone with the kids, my two jobs, and my messy house (and slightly insane, misunderstood dog).
So how did we spend it? Well, I was sick from working all night and being up over 30 hours, so I slept most of it away. He watched football. Any attempts at conversation ended up in tears on both sides.
Then I got up, tried to make a meal - with too many substitutions, I could not even stand to eat it. And then I got ready for work, and came back to work the 8:30pm to 8:30am shift.
Was it Kahlil Gilbran who said, Let there be spaces in your togetherness?
What if the spaces are within yourself?
Hugs hon. I'll be up and around if you want to talk.
