PINCH ME of HIT ME with a 2x4

[ninelives]

I went out and got some takeout food and bought her some milk and cat food as she was out of those.

We talked and hung out, she cried and I hugged her from time to time. I noticed she had a pendent around her neck which I bought her for our last anniversary. a healing pendent.

She never once kissed me or initiated a hug. When I got back with the take out she said:

Can I ask you a serious question?

" Would you be here If we werent having talks or would you just let me be"?

I told her that I was hurt that she would even ask that question and she then said , if the situation was reversed , would you allow me to be there at your mom's .

Again I told her that I would be there regardless for her.

We hung out again for the rest of the night until about 7:30 when her sister showed up again , and I was politely asked to let her and her sister have some time together.

When I got home, I was alone, she texted me thanking me so much for buying the dinner and some groceries for her and that I was AMAZING for being there for her.

Forgot to mention, earlier she was complaining about her feet being sore. I asked if she would like a rub as I used to rub her feet when she complained about them. She balked at the suggestion but I said, cmon, it wont be sexual in any way.

She let me rub her feet for the next hour or so. It felt just like old times.

Im not sure what to think. Her moms death is at the worst possible time. She was sick and everything and I did love her in my own way but I dont know how this will affect everything.

She was ready to go, so please dont think I am being callous about her passing. I cried for awhile but wanted to be strong for my wife.
