When It Rains, It Pours

[♪CS♪]

Met my W this morning to drop off D. We have been meeting at a Starbucks that is between where her apartment is and our house. I was a little early so I went in and got us both a coffee.

She was there when I came out and she thanked me for the coffee. We talked for a bit. It was a somber conversation, but she opened up to me quite a bit. Mentioned how hard work was going to be for her tonight. Talked about her mom and how she is doing. She went into more detail about how her mom found her dad. Her mom had actually told me the story, but I didn’t say anything and just listened. She mentioned how she still feels numb, and is not trying to think about it. Mentioned how hard Saturday is going to be. I told her I planned to call her mom after some time. She told me her mom told her about my offer to come up and help with things, she said how nice it was. She brought up how she had no warning at all. Thought she had at least another 20 years with her dad. Reminded me to spend time with my dad. OK, I am rambling…

I gave D a big kiss, and then just mentioned one more time to W that if there is anything I can do, I’m here.

I did realize about half way through the conversation that I am always wearing my sunglasses when we meet. I took them off. We had some very good eye contact. She would look away at times, but the end, IDK, we just looked at each other for a second.

The next time we see each other should be at the service on Saturday. It will be a tough day.

I think I will send her a pic of D tonight. I have always waited for her to ask before sending one, but IDK, right now, for her, I just think it would be the right thing to do.
