107. What Did I Miss?
When I got home that night I had to thread my way past boxes and bins stacked two and three deep in the hallway. Blondie was going back to college.
“When I left home, I could put everything I owned in the back of a Ford Escort,” I said, “with room left over.”
“I’ll bet Grandpa packed the car, and Grandma did a happy dance,” Brat Boy said. He wasn’t far off, but I ignored him.
 “What are you smiling about?” Blondie asked.
“I have been sober your entire life,” I said. “Think of all I might have missed if I was still drinking.”
Today I will be grateful for everything I didn’t miss.
