I left for Florida ten days ago. I had a wonderful "spring/winter" break in the sunny seventies with only one day of rain. I arrived back with snow on the ground and 20 degree weather with the forecast "20's and sleet" for tomorrow as I return to the drive around Lake county and my patients. What an ending to my week with the grand kids. Last time I saw them it was Easter.
I spent the time with Lisa mostly as the kids were in school until Wednesday before Thanksgiving and returned on Monday. Connie, my sister came from Ann Arbor and also basked in the warm weather. They have gotten more snow than Chicago. Wednesday we all went to see "Bolt" a cute "girl and her dog" story just right for Ellie age 7, the boys were definitely nonplussed by it. Girl has dog, looses dog, dog finds way home! Have we heard that story before? Hmmm?
The downer came on my last day with Lisa and family. Don't know if you saw the "lining up" of Jupiter, Venus and the moon into a wonderful triangle! Won't happen again for about 50 years. They think this might have been the "Christmas star" seen at the birth of Jesus. I thought "that is interesting."
The phone rang and a voice spoke, I had turned on the speaker. I didn't know who it was, I asked, "Who is this?" A voice said, "Mom, I need to speak to Lisa right away!" Lisa had come into the room and said, "That's Jason, mom." He said nothing more as I gave the phone to Lisa. Jason had called to tell Lisa about the stargazing opportunity. I didn't even recognize his voice after two years! I felt so hurt. But as I thought about it, "This is Jason and our relationship does not exist." I must accept the behavior as logical for him. I pray that we will reconcile, will we? I will never know until we do.
On the upside, I answered a call from Dow's sister Nancy looking for Jason and we chatted for a few moments. There was no animosity in her voice and she said, "Good talking to you."
