"I miss you"

Auntie is home tonight with her overnight health aide.
I called to check in.
Did she take her meds this afternoon?
Yes.
Does she have her sleeping pill for later?
Yes.

"Thank you for checking on me," she says.
"I miss you."

Oh, I miss you too.

I was there yesterday and the night before and the day before...

I miss her too.

I'll see you in the morning, I say.

Good night.

I love you.
