Maybe this works

The Union is really going to be upset I’m not taking better care of you!

Good Morning!
Hopefully you found your way here!
I was thinking maybe this would be easier for some topics where I would tend to ramble, LoL! and maybe more convenient sometimes.
Like the story of Bill and his wife. I don’t remember if I just mentioned him and said I would tell you the story or if I actually did tell you the story?? Got to stop eating of mom’s plate! I think I might be catching what shes got!

[Dear Lady]

I did find my way here. My heart is feeling very heavy today! I think I would like to hear the story of Bill and his wife.

I need to respond to your other post, however, now…at work is probably not the time to do it. Today is going to be a tough day to get through. I am going to give you some space and keep my hands off my phone…..or try to. Just know that I am always thinking about you!
xoxo

SB-
I have not felt such emotion in 25 years! Which doesn’t make it any easier for you……as I listen to Keith Urban-You’ll think of me….. Of course there are many songs that pieces of each song remind me of you.

I am having a hard time not talking to you today but the last thing I want to do is burden you any more so doing this helps me feel like I am communicating with you. Eventually you will see it.

Just bury myself in work today!!

Dear Lady,

I did not mean to upset you this morning.
I should have just moved forward as normal and worked on my issues in the background.
After thinking about the things you said last night I just had to regroup, and readjust my silly dreams to conform with reality.

I don’t understand how you think you are burdening me!?

I was going to tell you the story of Bill Smythe and his wife.

Bill was a tall man with long hair in a pony tail and was about 10 years older than me.
He was a very gentle soul and had a positive attitude and there always seemed to be a smile.

When we were working in Bridgeport at the end of the day I would call you and he would call his girlfriend whom he would later marry.
One night we were sitting around talking and he told me that every night he and his girl friend would put on some slow music have a glass of wine and dance cheek to cheek.

After the job in Bridgeport I worked with him on a few projects but I ended up going to a different company and I lost contact with him for years. I was working on a job in Seattle one day and a few houses down I saw Bill. We chatted for awhile and exchanged phone numbers but that was it and more years went by.

One day I received a call from a contractor and he wanted me to come look at a job. I went and asked him where he got my number and he said from Bill’s wife. I got the number from him, called and talked to Bill’s wife who said that Bill had passed away and that he told her that if anyone calls looking for a job to be done give them my number. I didn’t expect that.
I told her how fond I was of Bill and mentioned that Bill had told me years before about the two of them dancing and she said they danced nearly up until the end.

Dear Lady,

I had a terrible misunderstanding of what was happening last Wednesday.
I hadn’t been responding in a normal manner that morning and you picked up on it.
I said something like I needed to process some stuff and you sent a text saying it was nice for the last three months but it wasn’t fair to me and then you were silent. It looked like you had decided for me that it was best to stop the relationship.
I didn’t know what was going on other than that. Turns out you were being wonderful as always!

The night before was the first time you had shared what your situation was like. I had made some guesses based on small pieces of Intel I could glean. That morning I reread what you had shared and I guess the reality of it was something I needed to better understand. I can’t possibly know exactly what it feels like to be in your position but I sure want to try and understand the best I can so I can be a better friend/partner in this.

Dear Lady you are never a burden! Please don’t think that.
I want to know what is going on in your world. I might not be able to change it immediately or at all but I will better be able to be there for and with you.

You are so wonderful!
You are three times a Lady to me…
