...continues, thank Nature! It has been a slow, sustained seven weeks as routines become rote again. We continue to be each other's rock, but Paul is by far the stronger. His work, which he loves, is and has been his respite. Mine is centered around the home; books and the love for words and writing.
We both love our eighteen pound, not fat, five year old hand nursed orange tabby, who arrived premature, weighing one pound and one ounce. I have always treated him like a baby and he still responds as such. He still crawls up into my arms to be held like an infant. He brings great joy to both of us. I am continually blown away by the heart's capacity for love, just when you thought you couldn't love someone anymore then you already do, your heart expands. It is still amazing to me.
I have been fighting with some health issues, chronic pain, but I know from experience that no one likes to listen to the health problems and woes of the sick. It is boring and self centered to others. Plus when people know you have health "issues" it effects the relationship, it cannot help it. Dynamics change, people do not. They will behave as they always have, some with positive diginity, others with negative dismissiveness. There is no middle ground. As much as you try NOT to make this happen your life becomes your illness and your pain. We all have our own "pain and illness". Known or unknown, watch, see for yourself.
