I Gave Him His Freedom
Last year, I came down with acute appendicitis.
On my way to the hospital, I had sent him an almost identical message.
The only difference was that mine was a question.
[Honey, can you come home?]
My phone had remained silent the entire day.
Later, I saw him in one of Natalie Sullivan’s vlogs.
He looked tense. The camera slowly pulled back, and I saw him spreading frosting over a cake with great care.
He was writing on the cake.
[Happy birthday, Natalie. Wishing you health and happiness.]
