A Night Apart

Friday night, I had to spend a night apart from my wonderful girlfriend due to business reasons. I work 57 miles away from where we live and there was a training class being held Saturday that started at 9:00 am. Originally, Dot and I were supposed to go together. I had the hotel room reserved for us and we were planning on going to karaoke. I love serenading her and dancing with her.

Unfortunately, she took ill. She didn't feel like making the trip and she definitely didn't feel like having to drive herself back home so that she could go to work while I was in class. After discussing the situation, we decided that the best thing was for me to go on over as planned. First, the room was going to be charged to us anyway. Second, it seemed to make more sense than my trying to leave here early enough Saturday morning to insure making it to class on time.

I had the hardest time falling asleep that night though. Naturally, I missed the warmth of having my girlfriend next to me. I was also worried about her. Was she getting worse? Was she the same? Was she getting better? These were things I wouldn't know until I could get back home to her. We stayed in close contact while we weren't asleep via text messages and phone calls. She really made it just about as easy as it possibly could be. I love you, Dotty. You're my Angel and one of my very dearest and closest friends.
