Right now, my husband and I aren't living the same life. Don't get me wrong...we are not at all having marital problems! It's just that we aren't exactly living in the same world right now. He is living in a world where he has two, albeit aging, perfectly healthy parents. I, on the other hand, lost my dad five months ago after a debilitating 17-year illness, and am facing it again with my mother. Andrew loves my parents and is supportive and understanding, but it isn't the same. I'm grateful he can't relate to my emotions because some of them are so painful. However, sometimes he forgets, or doesn't even realize that my emotions and stress level are so different from his right now.
Along those lines, I am so grateful that Robert's track meet for this evening has been canceled. It's a yucky day, and there is a chance of severe storms this evening. I have decided that Catherine won't be attending her scout meeting, so we have an evening at home. I am very much looking forward to that!
