My past
Yesterday an old friend reached out on Linked In and today we connected on Facebook - an online friend I've never met but we were sort of an online "moms group" back when Tyler was first born. On Prodigy or Compuserve - I forget which -! was on both. Huge influx of memories.
Then the daughter of one of the two closest local friends I ever had posted photos of her in MA General with a PICC line - she has cystic fibrosis - she isn't doing well but I think the last time I saw her, her mom was alive...
Both bring back emotions and memories I thought were gone. Or ... Controlled.
People who can do that are magicians. I can fool myself into thinking I can till something tears off the scab, then I realize how freaking weak I really am, as all the memories tied to them come flooding back too.
I've read too many novels or graphic novels about locking things up in your head - and they are all authored by someone in the King family. Next time I meet one I may inform them how wrong they are.
Just pushed up my big work project by a week. Everyone has confidence in me but me. If you're looking to see me drown, stand by.
