SLEEPOVER

Being with someone for 24 years, it is hard to be apart. At the beginning the mornings were always the hardest. The moment when you wake up but are still asleep, laying and bed, turning over expecting your spouse to be next you. Then the realization that you are alone in bed.

Over the past months I would come and visit daily sometimes up to 12 hours. It was hard for Julio to be alone. At the end of the night was the worst part. I would get Julio set up in bed, and then have to say goodbye.

We asked if there was anyway I could have a sleepover and thankfully GF said YES! I was able to get my sister to spend the night and borrowed an inflatable bed. That night we laid side by side holding hands until we fell asleep. It was such a relief that we didn’t have to say goodbye, no tears. Waking up the next morning the sun shone through the window and it meant the world to wake up next to each other. It had been too long. These are the moments that are taken for granted. The moments that are so routine. Cherish your loved ones, cherish the simple moments, as they mean more then you realize.
