Another thing
Jeff,
When you were here, I never watched basketball. You didn't enjoy sports of any kind. Even when you knew that I loved watching bball, you never would watch it with me. So, I gave it up.
Tonight I'm sitting here watching Wichita State play in the finals in the NIT at Madison Square Garden. And I'm thinking to myself.......
Isn't it funny the changes I made, things I gave up, when we met 4 1/2 years ago? I didn't have to. And I probably never should have started giving up "me" to be with you. But it seems to be something that we do when we fall in love. Especially something that women do. You were only interested in staying home. Not very social. I was always the social butterfly before I met you. You didn't care for movies or the theater. I loved movies and opera and artshows and galleries before we met. But I loved being with you and didn't think it was such a big deal. Til now.
I have made a promise to myself. And it doesn't mean that anything bad towards you, baby. But from this point on in my life, I will not give up anything for anyone. No matter how much I love them or they love me. Be they child, parent, sibling, anyone. I like who I have become over these past 48 years and all of the things I love to do, watch, play, be, have made me into that person.
Do I wish you were right here at home with me right now while I was watching WSU play? Of course! I miss you baby.
