Did Not See It - But Should Have

[RDS]

I met my W this morning at a nearby convenience store to give the dog back to her. Before she arrived she called to tell me she was running a little late. I could tell she had taken a shower before she left her place as her hair was still wet. We hugged each other warmly when she got out of her car. She said she used to be afraid to tell me she would be running behind, but she knew I wouldn't get angry with her now for it. I confirmed I did not get mad. I didn't even get annoyed.

She continually thanked me for caring for her(our) dog the last few days. We had small talk and then I told her I had to go to work. We hugged each other again and I left to go into the store. I glanced back at her and she was watching me and her look was the look I used to get from her in happier times. I'm not going to lie, it was a good feeling.

I just have to keep telling myself there are going to be bad days ahead and not get tied into what seems to be going on.

I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing. Rain or shine.
