yesterday i was taking a nap with lorenzo (miracle #1) and my cell rang and woke me up. it was bk's dad. he asked if i had a minute to talk. my heart only skipped one beat and i resigned myself to a tongue lashing about filing with dcss.
holy mary mother of god. if you knew these people, you'd know what an incredible gesture (especially the "family" part) this was. honestly, one reason i waited so long to file with dcss was because i was scared that this would be the nail in the coffin of our 12 year relationship. after i saw that my pictures were down, i kind of thought it was all over. i suspect there's another explanation...
him: i was calling to thank you for the gift (a merle haggard cd that i made him) you sent up for my birthday.
me: oh...?
him: i just found it buried under a stack of papers and i put it on. thank you. that was so thoughtful.
me: of course, i hope you had a nice birthday.
him: i did and actually i was also calling to tell you we want you and the kids to come up anytime you want. you're more than welcome here.
me: *bursting into tears* do you really mean that j?
him: of course i do.
me: *sniffle* good. 'cause i've really missed you guys.
him: celeste, you're still our family.
me: *waaahhh* thank you so much j; i'll be in touch soon.
