Blog: DORIS? Is that you? *shading eyes, squinting* Oh, it IS you!
Doris: *shuffling feet* Yeah, hi Blog.
Blog: *hands on hips* Where have you been?! I have been waiting and waiting ….
Doris: Yeah, I know, I know, it's been awhile since I've …
Blog: … And people just keep coming up to me and asking how your family is doing …
Doris: Sorry, Blog. I know, I know.
Blog: … and I never have anything new to say. What gives?!
Doris: Well, we've been … busy. Very busy.
Blog: Is that really an excuse? *gasps, wringing hands* Are you trying to break up with me?
Doris: Blog! NO, of course not! We really have been busy!
Blog: *chin quivering, tears welling up* Please don't leave me to die. *sniff* Again.
Doris: *sigh* You don't have to be so dramatic, Blog. This is what has been going on--I had to go to my denomination's Annual Conference in Lancaster and we made it a little mini-family vacation. After that, we have been packing like mad trying to get ready for our move in mid-July. Right now, I am supposed to be cleaning the house because Grammy and Ray-Ray are coming in for an extended weekend visit. However, I thought it would be nice to stop and check in with you. Does that make you feel better?
Blog: *wiping eyes with Kleenex* Yes, I suppose so. I just thought … because you hadn't been here in awhile. If you would just TALK to me from time to time, we wouldn't have to do this.
Doris: I'm sorry, Blog. I really am. Listen, I need to go because the baby is crying and I need to clean up a little before the in-laws arrive but I promise I will come and visit next week. Okay? Would a hug make you feel better?
Blog: *nodding yes*
Doris hugs Blog.
Doris: Okay, gotta go. We'll talk soon.
Blog: *taking a deep breath* Okay, I can wait until then. Thanks for that talk. I needed it.
