What
a fabulous day. When I woke I had one thing on my agenda to do and
one thing only now was to travel over to my old home over on Utahna
drive to meet with my older brother who has a truck. My ex-wife
Dianne had advised me earlier in the week that she had cleaned out
the garage and has a lot of my stuff that I needed to pick up if I
wanted. I was to meet my brother at the house and we would load the
materials into his truck and take over to his place where I then
could next we go over and sort through what I wanted are not. To be
honest I was a bit nervous to the had not really communicated with
Dianne except through text and with been able to communicate really
well the last couple weeks. That was the only thing I had to do.
However this morning I got pinged on my Texter and it was my old
buddy/roommate Kelly who is in town and wanted to know if we could
get together. I have a special spot in my heart for Kelly. We met in
the dorms of Boise State University. Next year we were roommates were
pretty close. Often onto the years we've managed to stay good
friends. I did want to see him but at the same time I need to be by
brother at 3 o'clock. It took a little finagling but I got to meet up
with Kelly and his wife for about an hour to visit it was a great
visit. He lives in Ogden now and I knew that but for some reason has
not tied it all together is pretty close hopefully will meet more
often.
I
spent a lot of time waiting for buses instead of just drive my chair
straight from IHC hospital to my old house. I had a good charge in my
chair I'm sure I could've made it without issue but still I was a
little gun shy so I took the buses and got over to my house about 10
minutes after three and luckily my brother had not been there yet.
Dianne had put my materials altogether in one spot and cover them as
a protection from the rain. I didn't realize they were home but I
texted her to let her know I was there not to worry about the noise
and she came out. It was really great to see her and we hugged and
communicated it was grand. We really are each other's best friends
still. I brother came up shortly thereafter and we did a cursory
examination of the materials. A lot of the stuff is junk which I plan
to throw away Monday or Tuesday and were his house. But we loaded the
materials and send him on his way I was totally grateful that he
helped me with this project. Dianne and I visited more talk about
family and had our life's been up to the past couple years. Then it
was time to go ahead number of buses the catch to get back to
Taylorsville in my butt was beginning to hurt.
This
has been a full day one that I did not expect to go the way that it
did. I feel so fortunate to spend time with my brother I always like
to have a reason to spend time with my brother the more important
than that renew acquaintances of two old friendships to friendships I
hold dear…
