This is why I do what I do.
Why I work hard late into the evening.
Why I fall asleep in the dentist chair or on the train to London.
Why I turn around galleries as fast as I can.
It’s so I can be present for all her moments.
I had my years for myself.
My years to have fun.
To have “me time.”
Now my “me time” is work, or errands, or necessities.
Don’t get me wrong, I still find a little time to have fun.
But most of it is with her.
I don’t want a break.
I don’t need alone time.
I’ll have that again in 14 years.
Maybe sooner, but hopefully not.
