Today, I spent my time with the band of the Hawk. It was a good crowd. All of us there for the purpose of enjoying anime, gaming, food, and drink. I have threatened to make the monthly event since its inception. For various reasons, I failed to make an appearance. However, this day I had penciled into my calendar and left to enjoy my time.
It was very refreshing. This was an afternoon to early evening event. I was supposed to make another stop at a 'maid show' by wonderful Reni...but it got too late for me and I really needed to return back home to the kiddos. My travel time is well over an 1hr and half, since I live over 20 miles from Manhattan.
The last week or so, has been the hallmark of my return to the world of living. It is a return to the basic ideals, the most important people and activities in my life. My silence, my disconnect from those who love me most have accepted me back as I am now. I am a little different, yes. More mature...yes its possible. I have so much to learn. However, everyone of you who can...take me as I am and forgive my silence.
Just know the silence has been a cleansing for a mind struggling for peace. Thank you for the time away to get things clear.
Right now I am enjoying a late evening meal of broccoli, shrimp, garlic sauce over rice. A night cap and this update.
Tomorrow, I begin the unearthly task of searching for skilled care setting or nursing home from my aging, alzhiemer afflicted father.
Next time. Peace.
