Now we have to make a concerted effort to spend time together around our work schedules. I have to put up with her nagging me about my lack of cleanliness at her apartment, and she has to listen to me drone on about sports games. I try my best to support her at the end of one of her very long days, where she comes home and cries because one of her students was taken out of an abusive home, or another hasn’t shown up to school in a week. Molly shows me that she’s the very best of humanity each and every day, and I often feel I don’t measure up.
