Ouch!
Well, you can all call me "Grace" now... I've officially changed my name.
...took a tumble down the stairs at my friend's house, and yes... it was just a beautiful sight. Thankfully, only her 5-year old daughter witnessed it. My socks-on-only feet slipped right out from under me, and I slammed my tailbone down 1, 2, then 3 stairs. It had to have been hilarious to watch.
However, today... not feeling so good. Had to sleep on my stomach all night because I can't put an ounce of pressure on my backside, and my ribs are sore from not being able to move around. Man, I just realized how much of a pitiful whiner I sound like!! It's slightly better today, although I'm being careful.
We're heading to Dixon, IL tomorrow evening to celebrate with the youth from our church who went on a spiritual retreat called Chrysalis. We are also going to support friends of ours that were supposed to sponsor John, and who changed their entire family plans to accommodate him going... but he blew them off. He never called them back or anything. Just ignored them, like he does to us. I am embarrassed about it, because I know he has better manners than that, but I do realize it's not on me. It's on him. He doesn't care about who he hurts or who he inconveniences in his quest for self.
Even his mom isn't coming now this weekend anymore. As much as I'll miss her, it's the right decision. She shouldn't jump through hoops for him when she's given nothing in return. She ain't no circus animal. I hope someday he figures it out... but that'll be up to him. I'm done trying to help and being knocked down over and over again. Fool me twice, shame on me. I'm leaving him in God's hands.
