Jenna…

This morning came way too early, but I had a burst of energy, until I hit the shower and saw my hair coming out in big clumps. That took the wind right out of my sails. I decided it was time. I took the clippers I used to use to cut Ryder’s hair when he still liked burrs and got rid of the mess my hair has become. If I clip it, the clumping will stop. I take a bite out of the big bitter pill that fate has dealt me, and my hair is gone within minutes. My looks don’t define me. I am strong and I can get through this. I get the job done and I feel better. It was more the thought of what I would look like, vain, sure it is but I’m human. At least I try not to deny my shortcomings.

I leave the house early with Teresa on a very important mission, it’s time to put ‘project move’ into motion. I won’t stop until I succeed. I need to make it up to my children and Eli for keeping them separated.

The morning goes by in a blur. One appointment blends into the next and I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned with everyone. I like it when my days are successful, but I hate wearing a surgical mask everywhere. I don’t need to pick up any extra germs when I’m doing better.

I don’t see anyone out front when Teresa drives up the driveway. I take my phone out and text the kids to get to my office. It’s time for that family meeting. I have thought long and hard, and the only way I can live with the decisions I’ve made is if I let Eli have control now. I don’t know why but I still trust him just like I did that night eighteen years ago. I have had control for over eighteen years, and it’s time I share that control with Eli. The thought of leaving our fate in someone else’s hands makes me sick to my stomach but I need to do something to make up to Eli and the kids the time they lost, and this is the way to do it. It’s not going to be easy, but I will fake it until it becomes easier.

Teresa parks my SUV in front of the house. I know this has been a long day for her. I have either left her sitting waiting for me, or I have been lost in my own thoughts all day. She’s done it with a smile, but I know this is tiring. She helps me out of the SUV and into the house. I could use a nap myself, but I want this over with, so it will need to wait.

“Teresa, thank you for your help today. I know you had to be bored to tears. If this wasn’t time-sensitive, I would have divided it up into two days. You are a dear person.
