I walked out bringing Mama’s purse and holding her other arm. Mama pulled her arm away from me and said, “I am good! I can walk by myself! Don’t you worry about me at all!” Mama was a very independent woman. I knew she did not want me helping me to much. Eric got my keys and went out to the garage and pulled my car out. He was ready to follow Sheldon in Mama’s van. We got Mama into her van and Sheldon drove her home. I knew they would get Mama home safely and they would stay with her until they were sure she was all right. I stood in the driveway until they were out of my sight. There was something terribly wrong with that whole episode. Mama was not one to get weak like that. I decided that when the time was right, I would ask her what was really going on. After Sheldon, Eric and Mama left my house I grabbed my lighter, my cigarettes and my cell phone and went out to my back yard. I sat down on my lawn chair in the sun. I lit up a cigarette. I could finally smoke in peace. I savored every second! I chilled out and began the process of unwinding. The next day I was off from work and I was glad about it. In fact, I decided to take off the rest of the week. There was only Thursday and Friday left anyway. Morgan was doing fine. Paul had taken a week off from work to be with her. Sheldon was home for good. He was on the hunt for a job. He did not care where, he just needed a job. Eric was attending school as usual. Since Paul was taking care of Morgan, I rested most of the day. I went into her room and talked with her from time to time, but Paul made sure that everything was going smoothly for Morgan. I also called Mama to see if she was at home. I was going to stop by her house to make sure she was ok. I called her house pho... ... middle of paper ... ...p trying to have this conversation with Gabe. No wonder Nadia is sitting on the couch rocking back and forth like a demon possessed nut case. I would half way feel sorry for her if she were not so damn mean and hard on women! “Gabe, only thing I am going to say is that you have your work cut out for you. Who knows, maybe she can make that kind of change. I wish you both all the best.” Gabe really believed that he was trying to do what was best for his wife and maybe that is the best thing for her, I have no idea. I just hoped that they both get to a good space. However, I did feel sorry for Nadia, trying to live up to what Gabe and the rest of that congregation considered to be normal and she cannot be herself. If Nadia has children, God forbid she should have to raise a daughter, hating women the way that she does or maybe that would be the best karma for her.
