Sometimes the difference between crying and
smiling can come down to one tiny act of kindness. At the exact moment I needed
some compassion today, James rode in like a white knight. I called (at breaking
point) to say I'd be late again, expecting him to be annoyed. And rightly as
I'm fast becoming the absent wife. But he surprised me with, "Take
as long as you need and get it all done." It was the boost I
needed to help me hang onto the metaphorical rope I'd most certainly reached
the end of.
While his kindness may
have been based on a desire to watch Top Gear uninterrupted, I didn't mind. I am
just grateful for smiling instead of crying.
