IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO GET UP

Published on 19 July 2024 at 06:51

It is a most beautiful 51 degrees this morning. As I was getting dressed, I wondered how long I would sleep if I didn’t have to get up to take care of the dogs, to take meds on a schedule, to pack boxes, to find a mover, to do a change of address, to refill my phone plan. Chris (my son) is here helping me. I always sleep more soundly when he is here. It’s amazing the difference a person makes. My person, the one I laid beside, and I could feel the tension drain out of me, has been missing from my life for almost 5 years. It’s the little things I cherish – the things he did – making my coffee with cocoa, cleaning my eyeglasses (I can never get them as clean as he did), holding doors for me, moving furniture while I vacuumed, making plans, sitting in silence, cooking for me. Many of you are missing your person too. I send you light and love and the hope that you cherish the memories as they come to you. I Love You.
