“Since my husband died, Kevin and I have been going to a family counselor, to help us through things. He’s good at hiding it, but he’s been feeling an awful lot of stress lately.”
“Sure.”
“I was talking to her about everything and she thinks that Kevin might benefit from a bit of a vacation from being a big kid.”
“I’m not following you.”
“Baby him a little.”
“Excuse me.”
“For the next week, at least, he’s going to be almost totally dependent on you…” She and I discussed some plans for helping Kevin.
