Burk
How come you’re not sleeping?
Me
Wanted to make sure you arrived back at your grandparents’ safely?
Burk
Is that a question? *insert laughing emoji*
Me
Fine. I was thinking about you.
Burk
I’ve been thinking about you nonstop too.
Me
What does this mean?
Burk
It means we have a lot of history and are enjoying getting to know each other again. At least, that’s what it means for me.
Me
Me too.
Burk
Good.
Burk
Gram says hello.
Me
Tell her hello from me.
Burk
She just got home from the rehab center. Gramps was moved and has situated well. He starts therapy tomorrow and is determined to be home by Christmas.
Me
He’s one of the strongest men I know, and if anyone can do it, it’s him.
Burk
Agreed. I’m gonna go visit him Tuesday. They gave me the day off, so I asked Gram about it. She said he’s gonna be thrilled to see me. Honestly, I’m a little nervous.
Me
I get it. If I were in your shoes, I’d probably be nervous too, but you shouldn’t be. His anger was at your dad, not you. I’m sure he regrets what transpired and the fact he distanced himself from you.
