have a good night, sweetie...

...so said the bus driver tonight as I exited, heading home from the hospital.  I'm not going to my home, of course, but to a rented apartment while Rich recovers in the hospital.  And Rich is not exactly recovering, either, as the surgery sucked out more cancer, this time a bit higher up the spine (C1 and C2, to use Rich's precision).  The recovery is from this surgery, so he can have more surgery, more toxic chemicals, more (perhaps) radiation.

So I can say many more times, "have a good night, sweetie," and he will be next to me, not in a hospital, and together we will be home.

This hurts so bad.

Much appreciation to all for thoughts, time, love shared --
