She is here....


Happier days are here for sure because my baby is here at MY house! I picked her up yesterday at the airport with my two little girls who now are huge fans of my lady. My 7 year old whispered into my ear when the cupcake was in the bathroom *She kicks ass, dad!* - Ummm Yeah!

the Idaho Lament

 
Sometimes you just come to a point in time, look around at your surroundings, and wonder what you are doing. You ask yourself 'How did I get here?'. You realize that your life on the run, in the fast lane, in the dark alley bars, surrounded by strangers, one night stands, and empty bottles has left you far from home and with no one there waiting. When I signed up for this I never thought I would be here, right now, this second, somewhere in the middle of Idaho and saying these things.
 
I'm too fucking tough and too fucking strong and too fucking this and too fucking that to give a fuck and blah blah de fucking blah blah... Not so fucking tough now, eh? If I had any sense left in my brain that has been seared by strings of days crossing time-zones, sleep deprivation, and dive bars I would leave my suitcase here at the door and walk. Just walk. Walk fucking away before I am overtaken, before I allow corporate greed to suck every last bit of my strength and every last cent from my pocket, and all my sense of comfort left in this world.
 
But I do it again and again and again.... and I'll do it tomorrow morning. And the next day. My head full of hope and my heart guiding me forward. Toward what? I don't know exactly. But something tells me that I am headed toward something good. That if I just carry on a little bit longer that I will be on your doorstep and not have to leave.

Fearless....

 
Several days ago I traveled to see someone that I had never met in real life. Even though the connection was felt through online interactions, the txt messages, and the phone conversations, neither of us really knew what to expect once we were able to stand in the same room and look each other in the eye. To make a long story short, it was absolute magic. The past four days stand as proof that you can begin a relationship in the data cloud and then translate it into the flesh.
 
Saying goodbye yesterday was difficult and neither of us wanted me to depart. I can still feel her head resting in my shoulder right now as I type this and hear her purrs in my ear. Looking back to the house and seeing her peeking through the crack in the door was almost too much. When I spun the car around on her street and watched the door close slowly it was hard not to shed some tears...
 
I arrived home early in the morning, at 2 AM after driving from the airport. Pushed my luggage in the door and walked down the dark hall into my bedroom. Turned on the light to see my bed, with the sheets pulled to one side, just as I had left them. I looked at the bed for a while and knew that I did not want to crawl inside anymore without her. My cell phone was in my pocket and I pulled it out.  I navigated to my photos and pulled up the last picture that I had taken at her house while she was in the bathroom and not looking. I looked at the picture of her bed, with the blankets pulled back and the imprint of our bodies in the sheets and pillows. I thought back to taking that photo and then crawling up into the bed and stretching out one last time, taking all the pillows around me and giving them a good squeeze, inhaling deeply and smiling. I held up the cell phone in front of me and compared her bed to the one before me and I knew at that moment that I would not give up. I am brave. I am fearless
