I don't deserve it so good....

I'm glad he picked up.  I was slightly surprised since it was our old anniversary...so he probably didn't want to talk to me that day of all days.  However, he heard in my voice right away something was wrong.  He listened patiently and kept checking to see how I was doing.  Then he would distract me by talking about things that didn't matter and make me laugh.  The situation with my folks was very tense for 2 weeks....during which J told me to call as much as I need and not to worry about us for the time being, that he didn't expect anything in return.
