INNOCENT QUESTIONS

Patti's questions are always innocent:
how are you handling the packing?
Is it easy to give up your possessions?
have you ever traveled this lightly before?
how is this move different from the last one?
will you be happy to leave?
have you thought about what you'll do next?
how is your heart?
how is keeping up with school 
with all you've got going on?
you're home, right? I mean in town. 
I'm not sure this is home, right?
what's the prospects of a job?
do you know what you'll do about insurance?
are you picking up preaching gigs?
have you saved enough money 
for this transition?
how's your heart?
how are you handling the distance?
do you miss them? 
have you heard from them?
what will you do with your clothes?
how is your heart?
