The Events of Life
My son just called me from Missouri, in tears. In sobs. “I’ll call you tomorrow, I’m going to get shit faced” were his last words before hanging up. A lifelong friend is dead, thrown out of a car -- a car driven by yet another friend. A friend he now wants to see go to jail, or whom he would like to extract retribution. I suspect that they were a couple and that drugs were surely involved. He drove away from the seen of the accident after his girlfriend was thrown out the window and into a wall. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!
I am afraid for my son and sorry for my son. He says I know the girl, but I don’t particularly remember her - Christy. What happened Christy? How did you put yourself in this situation? Why does it tear my son up so? I can’t reach him, he is a couple of thousand miles away.
I am afraid that he will want to come home to the funeral and if he does that I am afraid he will not find his way back. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!
I don’t know how to tell him that I am sure that these episodes of great loss are the result of the life he has lived. He knows, but I’m sure he doesn’t want to hear it from me.
I love you son! I send this thought into the cosmos in the hope that they find you and comfort you. I pray that you find peace in your drink tonight and that you care for yourself.
