So Tony leaves on Monday. Today, he closed out another
chapter in his life with Interactive Intelligence and working full time in the
IT field. I am proud of him, so very proud of him and I love seeing the
happiness in his eyes about being able to work with family and to be outside
every day.
I have been
racking my brain as to what I can do to prepare him for the move. How can
I help him? How can I support him and make this new life easier and
smoother when I am not going to be there for 6 weeks?
Well, I can't make
meals for him. I can't scratch his back or rub his shoulders in the
evening when he comes home after a long day. I won't be able to give him
a big kiss or hug or even share a laugh in person.
Then it dawned on
me, I know what I can do to make sure he is ready to go. I bought him
underwear, yes, 14 pairs to be exact. Did he really need it?
Probably not, but now he can last almost 3 weeks without running out of
clean underwear. Wife duties done! Not glamorous, not overly sentimental. Buy hey, that is us in a nutshell. We are practical, down to earth folk.
Date night and a yummy dinner at Mama Carolla's.

ReplyDeleteThat's my girl...I would have done the same thing! Good luck to both of you on the big move and adjustments.
