Just for the Moment

MaryJo joined us. Rudy asked her how things were going with the new boyfriend.

“He’s not my boyfriend yet. First I want complete access to his medical records, including family history of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.” I wasn’t sure she was joking.

“You’ve lost your mind,” I said.

“I need to be certain he’ll be around if we get serious. I can’t have him die on me like my husband did.” Her laugh seemed nervous and hollow.

“You like him?” I asked. “Are you happy with him at this very moment?”

She got my point. Only the moment is certain. “I do. I’m certain of that right now. I just got a text from him. Made me smile, that’s for certain.”

“Did it make you blush?” Rudy asked. MaryJo kicked him.

Today I’ll be grateful for whatever happiness the moment brings.
