sure they get where they needed to be. I know it couldn’t have been easy with two of your own children in the hospital. I really appreciate everything you have done for us.” I tell my parents. I really don’t know what I would do without them. They are always there when I need a helping hand.
“You are very much welcome dear. The kids have been wonderful. We love to have them over whenever we get the opportunity. Are you sure you are up for having them home already? We can keep them a few more nights if you’d like.” My mother asks.
“I am sure mom. We will be fine and Jason is always a big help if I happen to need anything. I may need you to watch them in a few more days though. Today I got my memories back. All of them of Dexter and everything. I wanna fly out Saturday morning to Alabama to surprise him. I was going to go ahead and tell him over the phone but I think I would rather tell him in person. I can’t believe I forgot about someone so special to me. So if you could watch the kids Friday I am going to head home after my appointment and get some rest and head to Alabama on the first available flight Saturday.”
I was bouncing up and down on the balls of my feet the whole time I was telling them my plans. Excitement radiating off of me in waves.
I wish I could go to him sooner than that but I really don’t want to miss my appointment to get these stitches out so Saturday will have to do.
My parents agree that this is a wonderful idea. They both love Dexter and they are happy to watch the kids for me. I have the best parents in the world. They stay for a little while to make sure everyone is settled in and by dinner time I am starving. I order some pizzas just so I don’t have to cook.
I told Becky and Sarah that they didn’t need to worry about coming back tonight that we would be fine. They insisted on at least coming over to have some pizza with us so I agreed. The more the merrier.
We played some board games and about ten rounds of Uno before everyone started trickling off to bed.
When the kids went to sleep I stayed up a little while longer and shared a bottle of wine or two with Becky and Sarah. I told them about my plans to surprise Dexter. They insisted on tagging along with me to my doctor appointment Friday so we could grab lunch and do some shopping. They insisted I needed some new clothes to wear to surprise my man. We decided we would invite Lillian as well and we could all have a girl’s day and go get manicures and pedicures too.
I couldn’t wait. Some time with my sisters before I left sounded like a lot of fun. The four of us could get into some trouble when we are all out shopping together. I felt sorry for anyone working in any stores that we entered.
After Becky and Sarah left I texted Dexter and climbed into bed.
Me: Hey Dex. I am sorry I didn’t call you back earlier. My parents showed up with the kids and we have all been going nonstop all afternoon and evening. I will call you tomorrow I am headed to bed. I am exhausted. Night
To my surprise he didn’t respond to my text or call me back. I won’t deny I was a little sad that I didn’t get to speak with him before I went to sleep. I would be seeing him in a few days though so it was all good.
I realized for the first time that day that I have not thought about Dave at all. I know I still had to make a decision on whether or not I was going to go with him or stay in town but I feel like I deserved a few days to enjoy myself before I made a life altering decision like that. I also feel like I need to see Dexter and talk to him before I make up my mind.
I snuggled up in my blankets. My pillow still has a lingering scent of Dexter on it and that helps me drift off into a peaceful sleep.
The next few days fly by and before I know it Friday has finally arrived. We all meet at Lillian’s house where my mom will be watching all of her grandkids while all the siblings have a day out.
We head to my appointment first.
