For the guys with kids and a WAW

[hopeful4her]

Haven't spoken to WW all day accept for this morning when I left. I tried to call her earlier to ask if nephew had a ride to work. She called back a couple of hours later, but I had a client. I'm at home and on the board here and she calls and we are talking about what to make for dinner. She sounds tired. I told her we'll have easy night instead of the Tortilla soup she had planned on making. We talk about her last client, the old man with the Power of Attorney issues. We are chatting. I tell her about the movies I picked up. She tells me she has a headache and had taken a couple of ibuprofen. She tells me she hasn't taken her meds in a couple of days. She forgot. WW is on about 6 different meds since her stroke last year. One of them is a strong antideppresant. She tells me she is leaving right now and will be home soon. I tell her to be careful out there.

She has no idea how much I want her to be "home". Starting to feel very meloncholy. I hate feeling this way. Strong until we talk. Our normalcy is painful.

I was a lineman in high school. Played Rugby in my college years. I am a big man, but a teddy bear. A banker, but not a wimp by any means. My favorite saying is "Don't mistake my kindness as weakness."

She brings me to my knees.
