All tasks are a burden. I used to move from task to task, shoveling, to cooking, to writing papers, to exercising, without much griping, without it sucking me dry.
Kelly and I bought our house just over a year ago. We bought it and I knew that I would have to shovel sometimes. If I got home first, sometimes I would try to shovel quickly before he got home, to treat him. If I finished he was always relieved and thankful, if he got home before I was done he grabbed the other shovel, and we finished together. I guess I thought that’s how our life would go, and in the end we would finish together. And now I am left to shovel these memories into the safe in my mind.
