Back in Gear, ahead full throttle

Last night Jamie and I were frustrated with the whole situation.  It seemed that we had found the perfect home to share with the kids, even signing a contract on it.  However the state was apparently going to drag its feet with everything, so we might not have been able to get that home.

 

Even worse, since we were moving, no one would give Jamie a temporary job here.  And from 200 miles away, getting a job in Graves county seemed impossible.  Before calling it a night, we had decided that we were going to go down in a few days anyway, so that she could look for job, staying in a hotel for a few weeks.

 At 9:30 this morning Mary Beth Johnson from the State Dept of Highways called to let us know that everything was a go.  Then the realtor called.  It looks like we get to take possession on the 25th.  We should be moved out of where we live now by the end of may!

I called the kids, Ally is already packing!  Alex is so excited, especially since we will be only a mile from where the kids live right now! 

When my first wife and I split, I dreamed of a day when my children would be living with me.  Two years ago, when I was married to my second wife, there was no way that would ever happen.  Now, thanks to Jamie, and Mary Beth, my greatest hopes are not just hopes any more.

Not just a house, but a HOME.  Finally, after 40 years…a home where there is no yelling, no violence, and no abuse of any kind.  All because of Lady hawk.  All because of her getting one of my red noses three years ago.  All because of this awful disease, which i am very thankful for…it brought me misery for a time, but now the greatest joy.

Thank you Jamie.

Thank you to the makers of “Hawks” for the red noses.

Thank you Crohn’s disease. 

Be well,

 

Sponge
