Every day. Usually for supper and then most all day on weekends.

But being here physically is not the same as being here.

An example would be yesterday evening when I put the dog to bed. She's a 50 lb sweetheart but she has to come in to keep from barking all night. Anyway, the dog was on her bed and w came in to see her. W got down and was petting her and wanted a lick on the face. The dog turned and looked at me and wouldn't. W apologized for not spending more time with her and was really being sweet. Still, no smooch. W then says, "give me a kiss or I'm going to cry!" She finally got one but it took a while. It made me sad for her.
