W called at 4:00 AM, apologized for calling, but she really needed to talk to me. Her hands have been shaking for several weeks and last night they were really bad. I have no idea what that comes from, but it happened throughout our marriage. Migraine-related, I guess. She sounded really freaked out, and kept apologizing for calling, but I told her it's just fine, please call any time. "I wish you were here to rub my head", she said. I tried to think of some way to calm her down over the phone, and she asked if I'd played guitar lately.
No, I haven't. W was always threatened by my music stuff. I was very passionate about my band and my music, and also a bit of a gear-head. So it's been hard to get into music lately, and her request surprised me.
W had a few song requests, and I put the phone on speaker and played them all. It was a beautiful moment. Even started crying a couple times but made it through. Prayed for her at the end, which I haven't had the guts to do in a while. She was much more calm at the end. I keep wondering when the alien will come back, because I know it will happen, but this is really nice for now.
