Sitting across from you last night healed me like nothing else.
I know that’s what we normally do on Friday nights. We listen to music, talk for hours, and laugh until it hurts. We drink and dance and live, because it’s the weekend.
But, last night was even more perfect than usual.
One week I found out about my mom. The next week I flew on a plane, far away from you to be closer to her. Last week I came back to work in a daze and handled each chaotic day as best as I could.
The last few weeks have been hard. Harder because I haven’t seen you the way I’m used to.
Yesterday when you got home I said that all I wanted to do was sit across from you. To look at you. To come back home to you.
And, so I did (along with this lap cat of ours).
Damn, it was all so lovely.
The way your smile touches my insides. The way your voice soothes my mind. The way your thoughts speak to mine.
Sitting across from you was all that I needed. Thank you.

Beautiful piece, the photo and the cat sitting with you both too – loved it! The last line is lovely!
Thank you. That cat is a cuddle master…glad I was able to get the shot!
How wonderful you have someone to sit across from you to help you when you need it, to and to tell them just how much you appreciate them…
Indeed, I am a lucky gal. : )
Such lovely words, really warms the heart how another person can do that for you,

Thank you. There’s nothing better than another person being there for us, even if that means simply sitting across the way.
This is lovely. We all need that special someone to sit across from.
Absolutely. Makes life a hell of a lot easier!
I thought you were talking to the cat and I thought ‘that’s nice’!
Roy, you’re a hoot.
Wonderfully simple and yet full of true words and emotion. MM 🍀
Thanks, MM. Just a little Saturday morning emotional impulse to share with you all. : )
Beautiful, Britt 😀
Thanks, lovey!
This made me smile. 🙂
Awesome!
How lovely 🙂 Love that the cat was part of the experience too.
Around here these cats are all about the love!
I’m going to echo the sentiments of the above two posters. It was so beautiful it made me smile. 🙂 I’m glad you have someone like that, Britt.
Yay! Happy to spread some smiles around. I’m very lucky to have such an amazing man in my life.
Lovely.
Thank ya, Dannie.
Awww…and look at that loving paw, too.
Yes. That’s much cuter than when she sleeps on my head at night. : )
