Waiting
Only Martell and Kim
had escaped the weekend unscathed.
Martell had gotten a call from his boss saying they might have found a
way to get Martell his old job back. Kim
had spent a quiet weekend with her father and stepmother.
"I'm sorry you had
such a tough weekend," she said to the group. "I spent the weekend with my father and
stepmother in upstate New York. My
stepmother and I went shopping together in the village. Everywhere we went, people were glad to see
her." She choked up a little, struggled to find her voice, and added,
"I had forgotten how much I loved being with her, how happy she makes
everyone."
"You look sorta
sad for someone who had such a happy weekend," Martell said as he handed
her the tissue box.
"Every time I get
sober I see how much she's aged while I was drinking. Same for my father. I'm afraid they will pass away while I'm
trying to get my act together."
Today I will remember:
people are under no obligation to wait for me
to get my act together.
