As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday ~ but I noticed you were to busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to work.

I waited again, when you ran around the house getting ready. I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip. I watched as you went to work and waited patiently all day.

With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced at three or four tables over and noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't.  That's okay. There is still more time left, and I have hope that you will talk to me yet.

You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done you turned on the t.v.,I don't know if you like tv or not, just anything goes. You spend a lot of time each day in front of it, not thinking about anything ~just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the tv and ate your meal but again you didn't talk to me. Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.
