Your story is too close to what I am going through , and was going to ask for some advice about what I could do. There’s no rush, I’m not going anywhere for a long while. I just thought if you were there before you could help me clear it up. It’s a long question too , so please be patient.

Before your surgery, when you looked into each others eyes, did you come to the same idea? Then after the surgery, was the same idea present? That’s about where I keep getting stuck. I saw the sadness of lonliness in her eyes the first time, and a sadness of loss the next. I just want to say I see you, and you have my eye. I just have no way of understanding why I cause those tears.

It could just be the concussion talking, or my inability to express happiness properly, or even just my embarassment at how good my fortune was to be seen by her.

Why would she pick someone like me?
