This week’s Weekly Anamnesis - Illustration.
It’s funny, but I never really thought of myself as unhappy or lonely before I met my husband. I mean, I did have some sense of dissatisfaction, of wanting something more out of life, but I never really thought of myself as lonely. And then I met Mark.
He went to Victoria to spend the long weekend with his family. He left Friday morning and will be back later today. When I got home Friday, the first few minutes were too busy to really feel the difference in the house. I had to let the dogs out, since they were cooped up all day while he was gone, and I had to start dinner. But then I sat down to eat dinner and I was struck by how quiet the house was…quiet, empty, boring…and lonely!
It’s funny that when you live with someone day in and day out that you don’t even think about what it is you do together and talk about all during those days. If someone asked me what it was we did and talked about, the answer would seem pretty boring, to most people, anyway. You would think that when the life you spend with someone isn’t that remarkable that you wouldn’t miss them so much when they are gone.
This weekend was an illustration of my life before I met Mark. I never thought of myself as unhappy or lonely, but now I know I was. I finally understand just how lonely I was, and just how much joy he’s brought into my life. Our lives together may not be remarkable or exciting. What they are, though, is happy.
