He’s counting the miles. I’m counting the minutes. He says he’ll be home in time for supper. I wonder just what time that is exactly. He tells me that he misses me. I tell him I miss him too. It has only been a few days. But we are rarely apart, so it seems longer. His empty recliner makes me a little sad. But it won’t be empty much longer. The darned old TV will be blaring the news again. And he’ll be waking me up to roll me over because I’m snoring. Funny the things you do and do not miss, like his kisses and tripping over his boots.

Pinkypersona, He just got back from Idaho 2 days and winds up in the hospital with pneumonia, where he'll be for the next couple of days. His boots are right in the middle of the floor where he left them. Think I'll leave them there a while. ~L |
