The dicotomy of being away

I love being alone
but I worry about him being alone

I don't have to do anything for him
but I worry about him having to do everything for himself

I can eat whatever I want
but I worry about what he's eating

I sleep so well
but wonder if he is sleeping at all

I don't have to see the ulcer on his leg
but I wonder if he is doing what he needs to do to take care of it

When I call him and he doesn't answer the phone
I wonder if he's in a sugar coma

the list could go on

if you are the wife of a diabetic, I think you know.
