Hey Cali - I feel the same way twin brother! Except with all of your wise words, you seem to be my older/wiser brother.
funny thing - I was out on a ride yesterday (35 miles - longest of the year so far) and for some reason, I though of you. I thought about super-cool-cali on his harley - that's the way to go - that would be much better - I could do that again. Nah - maybe I'll just put the baseball card in my spokes like when I was a kid - that would sound badass - I actually laughed out loud (I guess I was delirious and dehydrated)
But anyway - Thanks for pointing this out and I have had the same EXACT thoughts about what is about to come.
#1 - this could very well be - she may have been waiting for this all along and still protecting her image as she has throughout this. Then - so be it - done.
#2 - this would be tough for me - If it was 9 or even 6 months ago, I would have jumped on it. In fact when she came to me after her DUI in march and needed me, put her ring back on, saw that I was there for her and did anything to help her without judgement; I felt that this was it - it could be real. It was short lived because I was too cautious or it was fake - either way, it wasn't meant to be.
If it trends toward #2 - I know I will be tested, but I am likely to be even more cautious now which will test her too. I will need to know if it is real before I can give something like that a chance. She has soooo far to go. I hope she doesn't fake this.
#3 - you see my story on the dateline murder mystery - you know the one where you know right away that the conniving spouse did it.
I've ordered a couple new spew jackets with hoods - should be delivered next week.
Thanks so much!
