Life as It Changes
Eli 24.4 left today. I almost cried.
I've never been like this before. I think I just have a stronger sense of time passing now, and I know that each time he leaves, I've used up one of my chances to see him before the day when I'm not here anymore.
His work can be dangerous, too. He does everything he can to minimize the risk, but there's no way to eliminate it. I know when he leaves me that--though it's unlikely--it might be for the last time.
I guess what I'm saying is I grieve a little each time he goes.
