My MIL called to find out what time she has to pick me up today (it's Wed mom) AND my dad called to see how my surgery had gone (it's Wed dad)...sigh. It's hard when you can see your parents failing a bit. But I'm blessed to still have them, both in their 80's.
Maybe the 3 day weekend threw them off?
But yes, it is very hard to realize the clock is running on your parents.
The bread song is something else isn't it? Detachment to the max.
And it don't matter to me If your searching brings you back together with me
I just don't know about this. I get the "being okay either way" but "it don't matter"? That seems over the top. Like if you don't at least have a preference for somebody to return, why should they even bother?
Maybe it means there will always be a spouse-sized hole in our hearts, whether or not the spouse is there to fill it. That hole, that empty room, is always there. So return/no return doesn't matter I guess.
Take care of your peepers RL. Here's to hoping for clearer vision for both you and the H.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
