OMG.
Gage told me not to dig any deeper, because what difference will it make now, but it’s hard to resist the urge to do a deep dive on his phone.
I agree with Gage. It will only make a difficult situation more so. You know he was unfaithful. You don’t need to know to what degree he was unfaithful.
You wouldn’t want to know if it was Patrick? (Totally unfair question.)
I don’t think I would. It would be enough for me to know it happened once or with one woman. That would change everything.
It does change everything, and yet, it doesn’t diminish the grief. How is that fair?
Not fair at all, but grief is a dick that way.
Yes, he is.
Grief is definitely a man, because a woman would never put us through this shit.
I reply with laughter emojis.Thanks for that. I needed the laugh.
I want to be here for you the way you’ve been for me since the day we first connected.
Oh, sweetie, you’re always right there for me. And I so appreciate you. I want you to be off celebrating your engagement and your new love and not worrying about me. I’ll be fine. I’ve already survived much worse than this.
I guess that’s true for all of us. No matter what happens now, we’re like, TOP THAT.
Yep. It’s a very, VERY strange thing to find out my marriage wasn’t at all what I thought it was. I have all the feels about that, but I refuse to let it take me back to day-one grief. I just cannot go there again.
No, you can’t. No matter what.
You must have work to do! Go away and leave me alone. HAHA
Speaking of work, my incredible boss (the first lady… ahem) asked me if I’d like to invite my Wild Widows to the WHITE HOUSE for tea in the residence. I said I doubt they’d want to do that…
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. Are you serious?
Yep. She thinks it’s awesome that we support each other the way we do, and she wants to meet you guys.
OMG. Everyone is going to DIE.
Don’t do that! That’s what got us into this mess to begin with.
I cackle with laughter. I love this woman so much.Thank you for giving me something so exciting to look forward to. She is the coolest first lady ever and meeting her would be a dream come true.I don’t mention my mad crush on her husband, which has only intensified in the months since President Nelson died suddenly and Vice President Nick Cappuano became president overnight.
I’ll make it happen. Check in later so I don’t worry?
Will do. Xoxo Love you.
Love you, too.
The White House! Holy cow! I send Gage a text to tell him.
That is crazy,he replies.The wids will go nuts for that field trip!
Right? How’s work?
Crazy as ever. How are you?
Strangely, oddly fine, but taking a few mins to catch my breath, and then I’m going to do all the stuff I haven’t done for days around here.
