I received a birthday card in the mail from my father today (he lives in SC). He knows the bare minimum as far as how my marriage ended up this way. Anyway, he sent me a lovely card with his idea of a joke inside.
Inside the envelope was a miniature plastic caution sign. It read:
So Saturday night I was at my boss's house watching her kids. She was gone for the weekend and I spent that night with them. About 1am my cell rang and it was my husband. He said he'd just listened to a song that made him think of me, "Who Wants To Live Forever" by Queen. We were hardcore Highlander fans and he was watching the first movie, heard that song and called me to see if I wanted him to burn me a copy of the movie. I said yes and then he asked what I was doing and I said trying to sleep but I was having trouble doing so because of the couch I was on. He then realized the time and apologized for calling me so late. I told him not to worry about it, that he can call me anytime day or night for any reason. It was nice that he remembered I liked that song. I used to be silly and sing it all dramatically whenever we watched Highlander. So it had to have been a good thought that made him call.
Newsreporter: It also left a man's decapitated body lying on the floor next to his own severed head. The head, which of this time, has no name. Kurgan: I know his name.
That was pretty damn sweet Amy. Glad for you.

Catfan, I stand by what I said a couple weeks ago. He'll have to come and get me if he wants me because I can't do this anymore. I do appreciate him very much, though. Giving up ain't easy but it is necessary at this stage.
