Ian and Hope
To the depths of my being, I do not know what I would do without these two. They read my earlier post and, even though they were exhausted and so ready for bed, they showed back up on my door step with a teapot, tea and honey demanding entrance. They turned on a light and set to work.
All the while, I just laid there. Mumbling the words to songs that were playing on my iHome. Ian even did all my dishes, god bless him.
Neither of them pushed me or asked me to talk, which would have been the worst possible thing right then.
When the tea was done, they commandeered my Xbox and put on the lion king. Ian made me sit up in the middle of the couch so he and hope were on each side of me. They cuddled, hugged me, patted my head (in a loving, non condescending way) and still didn’t try to make me talk.
We sat thru every preview and made little comments about them. As we did that, I could feel my mood shifting. Improving.
Basically, my night would have been a lot worse without them.
They will probably see this post. If you guys read this, just know that I love you dearly. I’m not sure how you two have become two of my best friends in such a short amount of time, but it’s happened and you’re stuck with me :)
