All of the kids have gone home, Melvin and I are alone, the house is quiet again with just the noise of us. I ask Melvin to proof read the last few pages of my thesis. I have to send four copies to Dr. Findlay, my advisor by Friday. I will be defending the final version soon. Melvin is so excited, so much so that he and Dr. Findlay have become friends. When she calls Melvin hollers, "Poo, pick up the phone it's Dr. Findlay!" She loved to hear that. She is from Africa and would say, with an accent, " I have become popular in your household, Melvin recognizes my voice, maybe I call too much." She did, but it was for a good cause.
While he read I prepared for work the next day. This was a time in our life when I enjoyed our time together so much that leaving him to go to work was a chore and depressed me. I just couldn't stand to leave him and he couldn't stand to see me go.
