A frantic phone call
So, I get a frantic phone call yesterday..... I answer. The caller tells me, " Congratulations! I told you things would all work out! You just had to give it a little time!"
I am very confused and ask, " Uuummm.... What are you talking about?"
The voice goes on to tell me about how they had recently gotten a phone call from Bonnie. She had happily told them that she was getting married, happier then ever, and getting back in contact with me so that way the children could keep in touch. I didn't really know what to say. The phone fell silent. I told them that I wished her the best and that I was happy for her. But, that I hadn't heard anything from her since all of the issues last year. The one time I tried to contact her about a mutual friends death I received no answer. It was their turn to be really confused. We talked for awhile and they apologized for the strange start of our phone call. I said not to worry about it. They insisted that when they had talked to her she had made it sound like she had patched things up and we were back to having something.....
I remember when we were in high school there was a period of about two years that we didn't really talk..... well I guess that was an understatement... At after prom she left any room that I was in... later I about decked her for holding Jessie when I was in the bathroom... Then when we actually sat down and talked (she got me a job at a day care) everything was as if nothing had ever happened. I kept hoping that this might be the same thing. The more I spent time at the college the more I understood the pressure she was under and the sheer crap that was going on in her life during that time. I wish that things had gone differently. But it has been about a year since I last talked to her. I wish her the best. I always have. I hope she finds what she is looking for.
On a different note. School is going well and hectic. I am looking at taking physics during the summer or perhaps this next spring. The kids are well. They are having fun with cooking the last few months. The shortest day of the year has past and I am looking forward to the light returning. However I am a little disappointed that it brought so much snow.
