Surprise calls

10:30am Just got a surprising call from one of my "Boys",
part of my extended family. Twenty years ago, when I moved
to the North side of the city, I opened my doors to the
young men in the neighborhood that didn't have Fathers and
these men are now my "boys". Shawn's brother, Devon calls
and gets me out of bed, we spoke for more than an hour;
it was nice. He told me how much it's snowing in his city
and we spoke of the girls in his life and our respective
families, now I've got to eat and do a bit of shopping
before I go to the rink this afternoon.
1:50pm Just got a call from Nadean, she told me that she
hasn't checked her e-mail in weeks, so she hasn't seen The
Saga yet. We spoke about what she's doing and how I'm
feeling, her daughter was the lead in a school play and
she sang solo. The school wanted people to write the play
and Nadean thought of me being a Stepdad writing the play
for her daughter's school, now I want to cry, someone's at
her door and she's got to go; she said she'd call me back
later. When I'm all caught up in misery, she touches me
and I'm looped again, I love the hell out of this woman.
Not skating today, it's snowing like crazy and I'm going
to clean the apartment. I'm a jumble of nerves now, my
Lovely still sees me as the man she wants to spend her
life with and that moves me to tears.
