sneaky
f.13.08so i own a climbing gym. that’s fairly well documented.
one of the changes i’ve instituted at the gym involves the use of vis-a-vis wet erase markers. the ones that teachers use on the overhead transparencies.
well, last week i was trying to figure something out about the marker when the following thought blasted into my head like a canon:
“i’ll just call mom and ask her how she used to do it.”
sneaky dead parents: 1
newton: 0
my mom’s been dead for quite a while now, and it’s been quite a while since i had one of the “i wish i could just call…” thoughts, let alone one where i actually reached for the phone to call for the advice.
strange days, indeed.
This one punched me in the gut a little. I still call my mom every other day or so for whatever reason and I can’t imagine not having that.
Sounds like your new venture is truly a heart thing if it’s connecting you with such dear memories and feelings.
