I had been stunned all day.
Too stunned to panic.
.
Oh the thoughts were there.
You did this to yourself.
You made your bed, now you have to lie in it
Yes, I agreed. I could see it was true.
What can you do with something that is true?
The sobs came much later.
Three of them.
They rose from the deep, came with sorrow.
The first sob took me by surprise, I had no idea it was coming.
The second made me think: this is the first true sob I’ve ever sobbed.
The third one though.
You’re a horrible person, you’ve done it again, look how nobody can tolerate you. And on and on.
Twenty insults in the space of one sob.
Geez, I said. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down.
This cracked the sob up.
We laughed and laughed and when we were done, discovered the sorrow was gone.
