Well, I did it. I got a job. A stinking, stupid, boring factory job, but I got it. I'm working. I told you I could take care of me, and I am doing it.
I liked taking care of you much better.
Didn't have to put my shoes on for that. At least, not much.
Didn't have to stand for three or four hours at a time either.
Didn't have to drive unfamiliar roads in the dark. First night going home, I ended up on Beechmont heading into Mt Washington instead of on 32 heading towards Batavia. Don't know how I did that, even now.
But, I'm doing what I told you I could and would, when we had to let you go. Not that we had much choice in the choice, but I hope it helped you that I said I could take care of me, and now you see I'm doing it.
I hope you are looking the other way when I cry from the pain. I'll get used to it, and maybe I'll even be a fit person again someday.
If that happens, I'll give you the credit, because I had to make a scared lie into the truth once you were gone.
In other news, Bub is taking steps, Tam says. I haven't been able to see them because of the work thing -- looking forward to next weekend, when I hope I will be more flexible and less achy. I miss them both so much. Almost as much as I miss you.
But I can go see them, even if I can't bring them home. I haven't visited because it would be so hard to not bring them home.
Promise kept, Rex.
