does he know how much I love him? Does he think that I was ashamed of him? I didn't want him to be Superman--does he think I'm not proud of him? He apologized to me, Martha--he *apologized* for not being stronger. Have I made him feel like he isn't enough?
Aww.. this broke my heart just a little... but I think very realistic in terms of what Jonathan would be thinking. Well done!
And so like Martha to build Jonathan back up again... as I'm sure she has done multiple times in her life for both of her men.
Such a delightful story! Very insightful and deftly crafted. Hope to read more from you!
