Second Chance
On Mondays I usually talked to Jack, but he didn’t answer my
call. I got a message from MaryJo telling me she’d gotten my email address from
our website. She hoped I didn’t mind her contacting me. I told her it was good
to hear from her.
MaryJo asked me if I could reach out to Rudy. I told her I’d
rather drink coffee until my hands shook, and then give myself a vasectomy
riding in the back of a pickup down a bumpy road.
She typed ‘HaHaHa’, thinking I was joking. ‘He doesn’t
understand why you hate him. I know you don’t hate him, but that’s how he
thinks. Could you give him a second
chance? Stick out your hand? Be the bigger man.’
My conscience annoyed the hell out of me by listing all the
times I’d been given a second chance. I told MaryJo I’d talk to Rudy. I wasn’t
going to be his verbal punching bag, but I’d try to start over with him.
Today I’ll give someone a second chance.
