Definitely makes sense and resonates. I do things like this to help bridge the distance living just a few hundred miles apart.

I guess the crux of it is that watching the cat doesn't seem like a big deal. But it was important to her to have the cat well taken care of. And it felt good to be able to do that. Even though we barely saw her. Little things like that (and the coffee subscription) matter to me way more than big displays (here's a down payment on a house now have a baby) and they're what I can do anyway.

Ultimately it goes back to doing everything you can reasonably do from the perch that best suits you. She'll continue making her decisions for how to live her best life and I'll do likewise. A big and not so bad reality of life and getting older, be it at 20 or (soon to be) 49.
