Daily chat

The constant, daily conversation boils down to this: IF you are my husband, and IF this is my house, I'll be okay. And those are big if's. From there we move on to "if I can stay here" and "if you'll take care of me." And we eventually get around to "but I want to participate in what goes on here" and "I don't want anybody to coming in here to help" and "I don't want to be stuck here all the time." A meal without tears is a rare thing, and a welcome, welcome thing; "huge," as a certain golfer would say.
