It wasn't the night we wanted but the night we needed

We got home from our lunch at the park and we took a shower. Sissy and Star weren't home yet so the house was quite.

Joel sat down on the couch and within a few minutes he was asleep. So I got up and got dinner ready.

It wasn't long after that the girls got home.

Sissy told me about her day and went to the sensory room. I think it's her favorite place in the house now.

Dinner will be ready soon kiddo
Thanks dad

Wow, You look like shit Star said

Thank you that is so kind.

Are you ok

That's a loaded question.

She laughs and asks me again

I'm excited

Try and get some rest I'll hang out with Sissy

You don't need to do that I'm ok

No you're not, you look like your about to pass out. I don't have any plans. Take a anxiety pill and try and get some rest.

I stop arguing because she is just like her father. I won't win. I get up and take a pill and lay on the couch next to Joel.

Next thing I know I hear his alarm going off.

That is the longest I have slept in years. It was also the best sleep I've had in years. Neither one of us woke up once.

I made breakfast while he got ready for work. He always takes his breakfast and tea to work and has it there.

I can't believe we slept that long Joel said

We must of needed it. We slept through dinner, no cigars no drinks by the fire. Nothing.

See you tonight, I love you

I love you too
