I asked if he was feeling down to which he shook his head NO. I asked if he has just accepted this to which he shook his head YES. Sometimes I wish he would get angry, just to see some reaction but I suppose acceptance is really the best. Although I suspect he doesn't open up to me so as not to cause me more pain. He spoke to me today, only a few words. It was the best sound I'd heard in a long time. Made me realise how much I've missed his voice.
