Not the best exchange with my husband, but not the worst either.
I was showing him something last night and asked if I could get it. It was something "for" Maisie. He said, "Don't you have enough stuff?" "I will never have enough." I said back blankly. How could I ever have enough for Maisie? I don't get to buy her anything for her life... food, soap, clothes, toys, etc. The few keepsakes and memories here and there is nowhere near sufficient. But we have to make do... And to be honest... I don't have that much stuff as this conversation would allude to. And 95% of what we have has been things that have been gifted. But boys and girls are different. Men and women are different. Husbands and wives are different. Fathers and mothers are different. And this exchange just captured one of the moments where we were different in how we approach life after Maisie.
