Quiet

I come home to find him asleep on the couch. The coffee table is littered with soda cans, candy wrappers, a half eaten bowl of popcorn. The television is still on, though muted.

I'm late--very late getting home. It was going to be movie night. And my movies for a change. But that didn't happen... couldn't happen... not with a four lane pileup jamming the ICU.

Once again work is disappointing those I love.

Love...

I bend down to kiss his forehead, whispering, "I'm sorry, JD."

He mumbles, not quite asleep as I thought, "Missed you."

"Missed you more."
