Sometimes I Smile

I was a little depressed earlier and I was taking off my house shoes and was ready to head to bed early with my mind all spinning round. Shoes off and my socks thrown into the basket I sat down on the edge of the bed. Then my phone rang, and my phone hardly ever rings and it never rings after 7. It was 8:15.
I answered the phone.


Hello

Hi, Dad. What are you doing right now?

Getting ready for bed.

Are you already in bed?

Not yet.

Did you take your house shoes off.

Yes.

Well, throw your sneakers on and come downstairs.

You're downstairs?

Yeah, Come down.

Okay, give me a minute.

I get downstairs and she's sitting in her car. 2 of the boys are awake so I make my way to the back door and get them all fired up with kisses and hugs and Xavier rambles about a spider being alive in the car somewhere and asks if I can sleep over at his house?

Nicole tells me she doesn't have much time and so I climb back out of the back seat and ask her what's up.

Turns out she brought me a giant bowl of homemade Lamb Stew and some fresh baked bread.
It was still warm too.

It was delicious !
I am so stuffed.
She also brough me a bottle of Pinot Noir to help with digestion.
Every now and again, I find a reason to smile before bed.

I think I might actually sleep well tonight?

I truly hope that you do too.

Be well
Live happy
Die trying,
Rob
