Night before last Mrs. Duke and I were laying down to go to sleep. We took our customary starting positions, she on her side with her back to me, and I on my side up against her, with my arms around her. I think the warmness against her back is soothing for her, I hope it is anyway. Her back was hurting and I asked if she wanted me to rub it. She said no she just wanted me to hold her, and with that statement she grabbed my hand and pulled it up between her two hands and five minutes later was snoring.
I didn't say a word. She just said she wanted me to hold her. I wanted to cheer. I wanted to jump up and down. I wanted run up and down the hallway shouting yes! yes! I couldn't sleep for an hour or more. I just laid there, overrun with joy.
Yes Mrs. Duke I will hold you, gladly, lovingly, for ever.
