10:16am – Oh what a night!!!!

PROVE IT, HERMY……

I hope last night NEVER repeats itself.  This is Jack again, as usual.  Last night, you heard from Louis and one that I could not identify, along with Thelma.

I never realized how quickly it can become habit to talk to someone all day long.  That’s what was behind the mood swings last night.  It broke the pattern, and we’re obviously less stable than we thought.

Betty (I presume it was her) yelled at Hank last night, told him he was heartless, because when he finally DID call last night, his voice was cold and there was no sympathy in it whatsoever.  It didn’t seem to matter that we were crying.  I think Hank just does not know how to comfort someone.

When they called back later, we asked to speak to Mikey, and we specified that we had known it wasn’t Mikey we talked to before.  During his trip to the condo, we figured it out.

After I talked My Mikey down to sleep, Betty started crying again.  She was afraid Hank was curled up in a corner somewhere, crying and hating himself.  This picture didn’t sit well with us, naturally, so Betty called back and wanted to talk to Hank. I’d imagine at that point, maybe Hank was afraid to talk to her.  Betty’s heart was breaking, because she had called her husband heartless, and he’s not.  He’s unresponsive sometimes, but that doesn’t make him heartless.  That makes him special, in need of more comforting and love.  Betty sees that, at least for now, and so do I. 

So we held our men all night long.

Let’s just pray that Sunday (tomorrow) works out better.  Tomorrow, I’LL be gone a good portion of the day. I have to attend the funeral, and there’s not much hope for communication during a funeral!!!!!  Maybe I can sneak in some calls before or after it.

Hank, I am sorry for the way it went last night.  Can you forgive us?  Please?

My Mikey, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,

Your Jack
