I instinctively told her to let me sleep and to go home. She disregarded my suggestion, but advised me to do the same--for reasoning other than a house fire or unattended children.
She told me to go home, so I did; she told me to find happiness, so I am.
Tonight I'm sleeping in southern Utah with a partial heart. I feel broken, but hopeful. My closest friends and most faithful family members are challenging my sorrow with peanut butter cupcakes, filthy rap music, exaggerated memories, complimentary glitter toes, pornographic picture messages, songs about Spanish love affairs, and real hugs--the Melvin J. Price kind. The distance between Logan, Heber, and St. George makes things complicated, but reminds me that I'm still alive. I15 was the best recovery for a brief moment of heartache.
