Today’s little slice
of “happitude” is...
Steers dinner time spoils, deep meaningful
conversations, good laughs, and some TV time.
A relaxing afternoon at John’s house was
a wonderful way to spend my Sunday. It wasn’t a particularly fancy afternoon.
We wore comfy, loafing clothes and kept warm and snug under blankets on the
couch. We talked and laughed and watched TV and after popping out to get Steers
for dinner, we watched some more TV. He seemed to dote on me a bit, constantly
offering me tea and snacks and checking that I was warm and comfortable.
It felt like a typical lazy Sunday, nothing too
fancy. But I savoured every second because I knew that this little glimpse into
a normal lazy day with him would be one of the very few days I would ever get
with him before he moved away.
When it started getting late and I mentioned
that I ought to head home, he smiled at me and said, “Okay, you have my
permission to go home, but not my blessing.”
Later, I found out that what he was really
saying was, “I know you need to head home, but I don’t want you to go.”
I drove home, wishing the entire time that I had
stayed.
