Sleeping with Dad

It was getting late and Dad said he avoids being out in the rain as it gives him head cold, so GE spent the night.

"Do you roll up in the blanket at night because if so, we need to talk about that..."

I had to laugh. We ended up talking about my uncle who is notorious for this. He asked me to wake him up at 7:20 or so in the morning so he could be off to prepare for work. I told him I would.

He slept in bed next to me.

I played with the phone for a bit bd talked to Hime-chan for a bit before finally sleeping. I woke up around 5:30 and turned over a bit. I, of course, couldn't sleep, so I watched him sleep. He was still and made little sound. Much like me.

I watched the time and waited for the next two hours to pass. I finally saw the time and remembered my promise. I started to wake him. Grandma also came down the hall to wake him.

I couldn't even suppress the thoughts of, "Daddy, do you have to go...?" even as I was telling him he did. Very odd feeling.

Finally he got out of bed, put on clothes, and got ready to leave. I stayed awake and watched him move about. He came back to the bed and I sat up to meet him.

We both hugged each other and wished things were otherwise. I told him I loved him in sotto-voce and he said the same.

"I'll see you soon, ok?"

"Ok. Stay out of the rain. Don't take candy from people in unmarked white vans."

I'm lying in bed. I don't want to start my day yet.

Commune time is going to be essential today.i wish I knew what to sub for pullups.
