Abel stayed home for two days. The night before the call from the hospital we talked in the room.
We didn't have a fight or anything. I was just very concerned for him. He had become quiet at home and whenever I asked him why he was home a lot these days he just told me,
"Am I not allowed to stay home with my beautiful wife stealing as many kisses as I could?" This would make me blush and both of us laugh. He would then steal a kiss and plant one on my neck. Everything was going well for me. Our sex life was still good and strong, our kids were doing okay in the kind of school we could afford for them at the moment. I was doing okay at work. Abel started bringing in more money home. He said they were from bonuses and him spending extra hours at work.
