You're going to do it again? Will this one be as mad as Trainwreck?

It is awesome.

Thanks to all of you. I needed to moan, this is an annual thing and well, we always get through it. tim is doing better today and made me a wonderful breakfast. Thanks all of you for your support.

And I am … weary that is. There are times I just want peace, selfishly for myself. Fighting tim's depression, mood swings and self-loathing, wears me out, it tires me and breaks my heart. And today when I bent to pick up his ART meds, he no longer wants to take … today I wondered why I continue. That scared me, that question, because never before have I asked it. Valentine's Day is the worst day of the year, for him and so for me. It brings memories to my sweet husband, things, time and people that are lost to him. The lack, leaves holes and dark empty spaces no one and nothing can fill. I beg him to take his meds, remind him today is only one day and it will pass … that tomorrow will be a better day. he takes them, but I can see the disappointment in his eyes as that lie passes my lips. And I wonder for how much longer I can do this? How much longer will he bear what he does before he chooses to stop his meds? And I give myself a shake and go to shower. It's Friday and we have an appointment to keep.

Love you , boy. And this too shall pass, though never from your heart. I wish for only the sweet memories for you to keep.

Congrats to my boy, who made 156% of his first quarter goal! Brilliant and hard work! Proud of you, tim!

look after yourself, A.

Another excellent chapter. Thanks you two.

As a nearly father to my neurotic nephew, I can tell you, your job will not end...ever. You are always needed. But maybe on hangouts or the phone rather than in person.

I was a cop rick, one thing I know is how to drive … but if we can avoid it we will. you have a good night.

Just watching it snow … later freezing rain .. wonder if we'll be able to get out tomorrow. We will see.

I'm well, thank you, my girl. tim is okay. Working and being quiet.

I cannot argue with the truth.

molly pop .. I didn't realize you were a baby yoda.

I guess my opinion is different. To me the character was referring to some women's comments about men on social media. The same character went on to say most women aren't like that. The author's beta reader is a woman, who, would not hesitate if she thought something was sexist to say so. As an ex police officer, I've seen a lot of abuse and believe me both men and women are capable of abusing others. They do it differently but they do it. But abuse is wrong on all fronts. I'm sorry to hear about your friend and family, that's wrong but no where did I read that anyone encouraged abuse to anyone.

it's a great piece.. but it does have two authors.. @Wayne Gray and @Mikiesboy

Hmmm. It's one thing to say you'll die alone when you're old, you are not.

What a sad way to look at marriage … it is nothing like a life sentence at all.

Never, Mac. You never give in.

I laughed out loud. Sex Zombies!!?? Jeesus.. LOL

Wayne is a talented author and a hell of a human being. I am proud to call him a friend. His humanity shows our everyday interactions, and in his excellent work.

Excellent.

Good. We need you healthy. I'm glad Phil went with sometimes it's a bit easier. Take care.

Look after yourself, mollypop.

Glad you're feeling better and feel like laughing at yourself a little. Let's not do this again though, okay?
