living in limbo

[learning2listen]

Back from my trip, it was very hard being away from my kids, but so wonderful to be back home..

I texted h to say hello, he responded quite quickly and actually seemed nice, but once again used 3 words to describe his life, seems to be becoming a pattern, never the same three words.. but three word none the less... this time I asked what he meant buy one of them...

He used the word "surviving" which to me means just getting by, not happy, not neccessarily sad, just getting by... he didnt respond... so I didnt dig, i just said have a good day, and he quickly responded you too...

the next day he phoned me, we spoke for a while and he said you asked what I meant by surviving and he explained that he does nothing but work and he has watched every movie he has at least twice, and reading some books, that was it.. so I think his idea of surviving is the same as mine...

I guess that was a 180 for me, i just listened...

strangely I heard from him again today....
