After a tiring day a few years ago, my husband & I were babying our cat.  As we petted it & called it sweet baby names, it was purring away.  I turned to my husband & said, “You know, I never knew all I really wanted was a cat…”.  This was after a day of rages by our soon to be diagnosed as bipolar daughter.  After a day of frustration with our still undiagnosed ADHD, communication challenged son. 

My husband laughed (luckily) as we recharged before another day in the trenches.
