Nothing but company
My day today started off like any other, and I asked her via email if she wanted to get the usual morning hot chocolate. She replied and had stated that she was feeling unsettled and was just happy to walk with me. We went downstairs and got our fix for the morning, but on this morning she wasn’t her usual self and was rather quiet. It wasn’t until we had settled in and 20 minutes later, I started to notice from my desk that she was going to burst out in tears. It’s common and not unusual to be feeling at a loss for words when you’ve lost someone in the family and having had experienced the same loss before, I thought it was best to get her out of work and just keep her company.
We sat in the park across from my work and I didn’t anything but keep her company. A stream of tears starting coming out and it was then and there that I had decided that we both should take the day off work and just get her mind off things. After getting the all clear and hanging back out in the park, we agreed that it was a good idea to just chill at the apartment.
Time flew by and all we managed to do was watch TV, comment on the shows that were showing, and just relax. She fell asleep in the process and normally when something like that happens, I would get up and do my own thing but I kept it in my mind that I would stay and just do nothing but keep her company. Although it doesn’t help that I fell asleep and dreamed the afternoon away about me driving a car that I didn’t know how to control….
