SILENCE

I sat with Troy this morning and sipped my coffee, enjoying a rare morning.
I’m usually out of the house before his alarm goes off.

Sometimes he just cant sleep. His brain refuses to turn off. I suppose that is better than a brain that just wont turn on!
We all know a few of those people.

I benefit from being able to just sit with him on the couch during my normal quiet time. We don’t talk, just enjoy each others company and watch whatever he has on TV. The news, a sitcom or an OU football game.

With work, we spend more time apart than together, so when we are together, we just revel in it.
We still hold hands while sitting on the couch watching TV.
Sometimes I lay my head in his lap and just snuggle.
He still opens my car door.
He still smacks my butt as I walk by, or just kisses me because.
Whoever cooks, fixes the other’s plate.
We text through out the day. No sentences, just kisses and heart emojis.
Reminding each other I am thinking about you, even at work.

We share a selfie sometimes, showing what’s going on at that moment. Could be a fur baby show or a drink on hand, saying come join me.

We all need someone to just enjoy life with.
It could be a spouse, friend, brother or sister. The key is just enjoying their company.
Being able to sit in silence together.

Quiet time.
Share it once in a while.
It speaks loud, I promise.
