I got pretty sick this week. It peaked this morning, so we went in to the urgent care clinic and I was diagnosed with strep and mono. Boohoo. But today has been one of those really sweet days. Let me 'splain...
I would have gone to my internship this morning had I been well. Instead, Tom has been driving me around, running errands, making me dinner and yummy smoothies, and taking care of Emmitt. After we had dinner tonight, Tom decided he would go into work to make up for my lost hours. Emmitt watched him get ready and listened as Tom explained he was going "bye bye". Emmitt then opened up his arms, so Tom picked him up. Then Emmitt looked at me and waved "bye bye". He was obviously going with Dad. Tom smiled, then put him down to put his shoes on. Emmitt helped, then pointed at a pair of his little shoes and brought them to Tom. I could see Tom cracking little by little.
Once Emmitt's shoes were on, he asked to be picked up again. Tom sat Emmitt on his lap for a minute and then looked at me with big eyes. "Do you think maybe we could go to the park instead?"
And that's why I love Tom.
