“Funniest thing, Lyric called crying last night. Apparently she thinks her siblings are looking to push us into an early grave Larry.”
“Well, they’ve been pushing us into an early grave since they were born. What’s the big deal now?”
Alex and Larry spent the morning joking about their children’s fears. They found it sweet that they were even discussing it. They care. Truth is, Alex and Larry had planned for this years ago and not much has changed to their will since. Except, of course, for the addition of a few new grandchildren. They are prepared financially and spiritually yet not so much emotionally. The reality of them not having one another at some point left them speechless as they finished their breakfast.
“Are those veggie burgers Lawrence?”
“Does your ass still look good in those yoga pants?”
“Damn right!”
“There’s your answer love.”
