Some Things Are Better When You Share It With A Friend

This husband and I…

Had a late night…well not really a late night…actually went to bed early…fell into a deep sleep before ten…but then…we had…some unexpected…excitement…supercalifragilistic…acid refluxdocious…even tho the sound of it is something quite atrocious…if you say it loud enough you’ll always sound precocious…supercalifragilistic…acid refluxdocious…

Woke to that man of mine…sighing…searching the medicine cabinet…for those tropical fruit Tums…thought uh oh…one of us is having issues…when jinx padlock…throw away the key…twins we were…this time hitting old gal me…with a vengeance…old people reflux…a monster of its own…

And so it was…his and her bonding…sitting up on each side of hideous man chair…til 2 am…in the dark…waiting for those Tums and Prilosec…to do their job…analyzing…evening food choices…reflecting…about life…choices we’d made…choices we wish we hadn’t made…speculating…on the source of lights…illuminating the darkened curtains…

Marveling…at how lucky we are…to have found each other…soul mates…BFFs…acid reflux buddies…navigating…this grand adventure …called growing old…together…um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-I…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
