Batteries, and having power (in many ways)
I woke up this morning in a major rush. I had to get ready for work, pack clothes for the football game tonight, pack clothes for after the game, pack clothes and equipment for the weekend, etc. I raced out the door only to find my big truck DEAD...the battery was completely dead. Thank goodness for Kevin. He was late to work (as was I) in order to take the time to figure out the problem, unhook the battery and get me a new one installed. I was on the road only 45 minutes late...what could have been a disaster turned out to be just a minor inconvenience. The best part is that the whole time I was freaking out and panicking, Kevin stayed calm and patient with me.
As independent as I like to be, it is such a great relief to have someone to lean on during the tough times. When it comes down down to brass tacks, we have each other and that's all we really have. People come and go but we stay, we are permanent. Kind of a nice feeling.
