And even one week when I was depressed and i hadn’t been saying bless you. They noticed after the 3rd sneeze of the day they both were like have you seen *my name* today is he alive? That made me smile for my presence or lack there of had been noticed. And they were on some level concerned
They would only ever openly ask me how I was when drunk tho maybe men of this generation are raised to think it is un-masculine to openly care. I think that is sad. I think caring is very manly. At times I did feel like their mother tho. And at times they treated me like their mother.
