quiet space: or, when i miss michael most

i think this blogging is going to be what saves me... right now is perhaps the first quiet, alone moment i've had since michael left. i've done the evening's "zambonie" sweep, taken the dog out for his last pee-mail check, sorted yesterday's mail. owen went down tonight without a fuss and has been snuggled up ever since. this is usually our time. when we settle into our evening. plot out the following day. but then put that aside and take some time to just "be." together. sometimes that means "movie time" and sometimes that means "coffee house." and i love that about us. i always tell michael i married him because i knew i found someone who could share silent space with me. to me, it's the most compassionate intimacy. so here i am in this silent space and i miss the nearness of michael. but writing this, i know we are sharing our quiet space, writing together, listening to one another.
