Journaling-A year ago today, our D was home from grad school between Spring and Summer for a quick visit. During her time at school, H and I had begun to head to the beach for breakfast. We had found “our place”. We wanted to share with D. That morning, we all woke up early and headed to the beach. During the night before, his phone kept going off with text messages, when I asked what was going on, he told me one of his guys on his crew did not come home and the wife was texting my H worried. I now think it was the OW that he had met when he recently was out of the country. During breakfast, he wasn’t a jerk, but he wasn’t engaged, either. After breakfast, we came home. No browsing stores or taking scenic drives. He was “tired”. Nothing new. When we got home, I can’t remember exactly what happened, but I do remember later in the day, my D and I left to go shopping. He did not want to go. He was distancing himself more, because I remember specifically asking him, if he was ok. His answer, “I’m just tired” three days later BD, and two weeks from today, last year, he left for over three months for work. Wow. It went in the blink of an eye.
