It happens again. I caught a cold last Thursday walking towards a community event. I felt bad. Imagine my disappointment being sick one week before visiting my son's family. Could I get well soon?
I needed to stay home to rest. This morning, James and I exchanged "Happy Valentine's Day!" at breakfast before he left all for an all day meeting. He asked me to take a good rest and I said I would.
I was surprised when he came back into the house in just a few minutes.
"Remember what you said about the blinkers?" he asked. "I couldn't start the car. Could you give me a ride to the carpool?"
Last night when he got home, I warned him I had left the blinkers on for a few hours by mistake and wondered whether the car could start today. So I wasn't surprised. But I told him, "How about you just take the van? I will be here all day anyway."
"But I don't want you to be without the van."
"Just in case I need to go somewhere?"
You have to watch our body language and listen to our tone of voice to understand how much we care for each other. I know James cares about me, and that's what counts.
