It was nearly midnight. I had just gotten home. He had been taking care of the kids and studying for his DT Instructor course. I plopped on the couch and started telling him about my day. I talked, talked, and talked. He smiled, engaged, and asked questions. Finally around 1:00 am we climbed into bed and he asked me to set the alarm clock.
"So early?! You have to get up that early?"
I asked in disbelief.
"Why did you let me talk for so long? Why didn't you tell me?"
With no accusation or annoyance in his voice he turned over, started playing with my hair, and said:
"You needed to talk and I needed to listen. It's simple."
