Friday Night

My sweetheart arrived at my house tonight with a bottle of wine. We hadn't seen each other in nearly a week, but that's the last of those long stretches. He is with me all week, and next weekend we move in together. "This is to celebrate the end of single parenthood for both of us," he said of the wine. Funny, I hadn't been thinking of it as the end of single parenthood for him. I hadn't even realized until recently that life is going to be easier for me after we move in together. The thought that life would be better for him, as a parent, hadn't even occurred to me. I'm so happy to be doing this with him.
