It lives!
Got back home from Jamestown tonight. I had a good Christmas with the folks. I gave my dad a book on Fuller & Johnson single cylinder engines that he wanted, and my mom a new 35mm camera. I got some clothes I might wear and some cologne that I think stinks. However, if there's anything that's important about Christamas, it's the food, and mom didn't disappoint there. She spent several days getting the meal ready and it was delicious. I even got to take home leftovers today.
Mom had to work today so I spent the morning going around town with dad. He's still sore from his hospital visit but he's feeling better. His birthday is next month and if he feels better and the weather has gotten colder, he and mom are going to come out to Chelsea so that dad and I can go ice fishing. Before then I need to buy an auger and a skimmer and an ice fishing pole. I've only been ice fishing once before, so I'll need a lot of equipment. Luckily, my fishing license is still up-to-date so I'm set there.
Have you ever loved someone so much that you wanted nothing but the best for them? What if the best thing for them involved you not being part of their life anymore? What if you knew that they'd be happier with someone else? It just occurred to me last night that most of my personal relationships have ended because of exactly that. I don't know if was subconscious or conscious at the time, but I've even avoided potential relationships for just such a reason. Sorry if this sounds angsty, I'm just feeling introspective.
