I walked into the house to see Stacey sitting in the dining room and drinking wine and I always knew what that meant..she's stressing.
"What's wrong?"I asked
"Nothing"she said
"You know I was married to you for 18 years at a point in time right?"I asked
"So?"she asked
"I know you like the back of my hand...you can't lie to me"I said
A tear dropped from her eye but she quickly wiped it as I sat next to her
"15 to 30..what the fuck am I supposed to do without you..for 15 to 30 years?"she asked while crying
"Everything is gonna be okay"I said
"No it's not...how can you sit there with a straight face and act like everything is gonna be fine...imma miss you...ya kids are gonna miss you...and ya baby on the way-
"Don't worry about that..aight...I'm always gonna be one phone call away"I said
I wiped her tears
"And you always come see me"I added
"I love you"she said
"I love you too"I said
I kissed her forehead
