Did you ever think those three simple words could have different meanings? Before Mike's accident, if someone was to ask me "How Are You", I would have replied "Fine. And You?". Now I get How ARE you? I understand they are trying to be polite but do they really want to know? What if I told them everything I was going through? It is hard to get our of bed, it is hard to be a single parent, that I hate feeling alone, I hate to cry all the time, that I especially hate that everyone else's life is fine and dandy while my family's world has crumpled. I wish I could answer that way but instead, I pretend I am still living in the 'pre-accident' time and say, "Fine. And You?"
Anybody else feel that way?
