To a “wife I do not know”:
I sat beside your husband in the St Louis airport one morning. He called you telling you the medical conference got extended a day because there was so much interest in x y z medical thing. He said how much he loved and missed you and the kids!! He’s so sorry he can’t get a flight home for two more days!! he’s checking constantly for flight updates but so far, they’ve all been booked solid. Be sure to give the kids extra hugs and kisses!! He said he missed you more than you know but that so far, the conference has been great. He’s learning a lot!
As soon as he hung up, he called
“ Annie” who was at work in Chicago. Told her he arranged to come and see her after all! He’s waiting for a stand by ticket to Chicago. Can she take a couple of sick days? “I’ll be there as soon as I can, baby!” He’s willing to skip the last day of the conference and was able to add an extra day! He’s so excited to see her AGAIN!
So “ wife I do not know” I have thought about you and your kids. YOU DESERVE BETTER.
