I have a question. At first, I had no question; no response.
Now, I would like to know WHY?
Mr. 'big cheese, all powerful,man-in-charge'...
Have the decency to tell me why!
You have been living two lives.
One family: ( a wife, two children, two grandchildren) was not enough?
We did not fulfill you?
We were not in business chasing you around, throwing "atta-boys" at you?
We, who waited hours for you to come home, weren't enough?
We, who were never included in your fancy trips and dinners, were not classy enough?
We, as a loving family, made you uncomfortable with our hugs,kisses, and family time?
We, who never questioned?
I, who was so ego-deficient, never satisfied you?
I, who never wanted to think of our less-than-fulfilling marriage, after almost fifty years?
I, who loved you?
We, who loved you?
We just weren't enough?
So you left?
For her?
For them?
I don't think it was, that we weren't enough.
I don't need to question you further.
It was that YOU weren't enough.
