I don't say it enough ...
She challenges me when I need it. She kicks my ass when I need it. But most of all, she lets me be what I need. She doesn't place blame or guilt on herself or me when something doesn't go quite according to plan. She immerses herself in what I'm doing so that she can know where my mind is and all the while doesn't demand inane things like conversation and because of that, I can say as much or as little as I need to say.
She deserved better over the years. We both did. But we're long past that. Now we have other issues to tackle and to face. It isn't always easy, but it's what it is. And I love her for all of it. I don't say it enough, but I do mean it. Especially now.
She's endured my (necessary) silence throughout the last few months while dealing with IAB and OPC. There are things I honestly cannot talk about and she doesn't push and doesn't think I am keeping her in the dark for any other reason than God's Honest Truth I can't talk about it. It isn't an easy road to walk considering the case that is at the top of my priority list (per the AD) is one that deals with someone we both care for.
The case is over. Paperwork must be signed and now we wait for the next step. Reports are still in the works. Forensic evidence tracked across countries. But the investigation is over. Now comes the dull part. So I'm taking a break to thank Her for her patience and just getting me.
