" Julia,  I feel awful for them. Sophie and I went through it. I was glad to have you,  Cindy,  my friends, and my new friends, who were your and Cindy's friends and family."
" We will be with them and help them as much as they will allow us like you did with us.  I feel awful, too. Alexa sees me as her mother.  I need to be there for her more. "  " Julia,  you are there for her and Julia as much as possible."

I started crying on the couch with my head on my wife's lap. She held me and wiped my tears and told me to blow. I blow my nose in a few tissues. My grown kids call me to ask me how they can help.  I tell them nothing and explain the plan. They accept it. I asked them to call others for them to update them. Each one said they would. Each of them asked me how I was doing.  I was honest. We tell one another we love one another.  Hannah tells her daughters are out of town but relay the information.  I end the call. I hand my wife mine. I get up and go change to workout clothes and go to the fitness room. I wrap my hands, and my wife is with me. I put the gloves on and start hitting and kicking the mma bag until Silvia stops me.
" Babe,  I  hate seeing you this way." " I  know, but feeling helpless hurts."

She helps me remove my gloves and wraps.   I down two bottles of room temperature water. We leave, and I walk to the indoor gun range.  I turned off the alarm and unlocked the door. I turned on the light and opened the gun  safe. She followed me into the gun range room. I open my safe and put on my safety glasses and ear plugs. I put one target paper up and loaded my 911 Kimber. I load all my magazines, got it, and set them on the table.  Silvia has her ear plugs and safety glasses on. I shoot until I am done with no bullets left. We put everything away. Silvia sweeps up the shells and the paper target that barely has enough paper on it and throws it away.

" DAM IT NO MORE.I KNOW YOU ARE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY HURTING .YOU WON'T BE DRIVING NOR DRINKING ANY ALCOHOL UNTIL I KNOW YOUR BETTER. THIS ISN'T UP FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION."

I look at her and don't say anything. She secures the gun range, and we take the elevator because my body aches.  She has me take a hot bath with Epsom salt. She sets it up, and she gets in with me with her needles and starts working on my body.  When she is done, she gets up and places them on the vanity so she can sterilize them later. She has me move forward and gets behind me with her legs on the side of mine. She is massaging my head,  lower back, shoulders, and temple. I am feeling better.  She begins washing my body as much as she can reach. I do the rest. I wash her body. We rinse off and dry off our bodies.  While I am putting on my coconut deodorant, she pulls the lever for the water to drain. She places deodorant on then starts sterilizing her needle and holder with alcohol.  She places them on a clean towel. I am not moving, just watching her. She turns around and picks me up over her shoulder.  I slap her ass a few times.  She pulls back the duvet cover,  blanket, and top sheet and places me in bed. She gets on top of me.

" Let's go to sleep. Your body needs to rest."  " Yes, mam."

She is just caressing my body with her hands that she can reach. I fall asleep.

Once Julia is sound asleep, I get up and call my sister on the landline to see how Cindy is doing. Cindy answers it. I asked her how she was doing. She tells me that they just returned from jogging 70 miles.

" Cindy, that is too far. Julia is asleep. She wore herself out from punching, kicking the punching bag and wasting a lot of ammo.  Is Taylor coming over to give you both a massage?"
" Lisa and Taylor are here.  I just got scolded by them both.  Taylor is working on your sister. I am next. My kids came by and brought us dinner. They left dinner for you on your porch. I was getting ready to call you to tell you. They left dinner with the girls too and stayed with them. They placed the obituary announcements online. The girls know Julia and I are hurting. They called the florist and ordered the flowers too for the burial. I am doing okay but hurting physically because I can only listen and offer my crew to fly them to Mexico when the urns arrive. The urns will be there in two days per Alexa."PLEASE DON'T DRINK OR DRIVE NOR EXCERCISE TOO MUCH. "  " Don't worry, Lisa removed my guns and your sisters. We have no liquor either.  Lisa and the guards removed it all. Your sister,  Lisa, and the others are worried about me and Julia."
" I know I read the texts.  Love you, sweetie."  I love you too.  It's my turn now to get a massage. Here is your sister. "

Sophie and I spoke for a while.  We ended the call. I put my robe on and went downstairs.  I turned off the alarm and unlocked the door. The dinner was I'm containers with tin foil.  It was still hot.  I picked it up and used  my left to close the door and locked it. I placed the food in the oven and turned the alarm back on. I went back upstairs and texted Cindy's children to thank her grown daughters .  They both replied and stated that if you need anything, call either of them. One would go do it.  I told them thank you. I placed both of our cells on the chargers.  I went to the restroom to use it. I  washed and dried my hands. I got back into bed with my wife, who still sounded asleep.  I laid on my stomach and placed my right arm and leg over her body.  I watched her sleep until I fell asleep.
