Mom;s kleaving - you are very upset - but you must understand - You have had a very good day - eat well - but still very mad at me - You frown - I talk and you turn your head - I ask something and all I get is one word answers - Lee now you know I will be back I have to leave in the morning - I will see you at lunch on Saturday - Go one day - I can not do that you know - it will take me that long to unwind and concentrate - I must go and very "Loudly" WHY??? - Hey, do not talk to me that way - and then away you went down the hall - out of site  - I am not worried, as I know you are just "venting" to your self - Dad comes in - I am crying and he just says - so get some air - I will be here  - I did not see you when I left - nor did you see me - 20 minutes lates I come back you are in bed crying - dad talking softly - no she will be right back - I walk in and you thought I left and you did not want me to leave and you not tell me by or give me a hug & kiss- then the good night ritual - calling the roll asking about friends, family - and after each name "are they OK", yes -they are ok - how do you know?? either they have talkes with dad or even called me - all is well - "Thank God", really all OK - then it was a long strong hug and kiss - I walked out 1st - dad talked a minute and all was fine. . .love mom
