I had a date tonight with the most wonderful, funny, caring, loving, and beautiful woman I have ever met. Yes, Stacy and I were able to get out of the house without James and go on a date. Just the two of us. This was the first time we were able to be alone together in four months.
We were able to get a nurse to come over and watch James for a couple of hours so we went to see “The Blind Side”. We both thought it was a good movie, but I don’t think either of us were really focusing on the movie. No, we weren’t making out in the theater, if that is what you were thinking. Our minds were constantly thinking about James. We knew that he was in the care of a nurse so he should be okay, but we still worried about him. It’s normal for parents to worry about their kids when they are in the care of somebody else, but I think that when you have a kid like James and all of medical needs and issues you tend to worry more.
It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time alone with Stacy. We weren’t exactly alone though. We were with a hundred other people in the theater, but you know what I mean. Someday we will be able to do this again. Not sure when, but someday. Maybe next time it will be easier to leave James with someone. Then again, maybe it won’t.
