Captivated by the green and gray of the passing interstate outside my window, this lengthy car ride is more tranquilizing than a large dose of narcotics. Then I hear the radio whisper "And, Yes, I've dreamt of you too". In my head "That song. Our song" like a thunderbolt, I'm shocked by the rumble that jolted through me. Aches and pains, inside and out, like a fresh trauma. "It's been so long. I should be okay by now."
Jenna and Duncan are the one and only purpose for which I survive. They are my H20, my oxygen, the nutrients absorbed into my body and soul. In the absence of that, which I need, I would cease to be. They are literally my everything. Brayden seems like a dream to me, an unattainable dream that I can never forget. I can never forget him but he will never remember me.
Speeding bullet, dead set and aimed right for my heart. I think I'll remove my bulletproof vest and take a chance. This might very well kill me. I will see Brayden, hold him, then kiss his sweet little face goodbye again. Hairline trigger, please do it for me.
Good-bye is only truly painful if you know you'll never say hello again. Reunited with my son again and Duncan meets his brother for the first time.
