Six Months Later
“You’re not yourself, honey,” Mom said, stroking the back of my neck
while I leaned forward in a deck chair, face in my hands, and
ignoring the beautiful beach in front of us. “Where’s Mr. Sunshine been
lately?”
“He’s lost, Mom,” I replied.
“You’re only twenty-two, kiddo. You can’t lose that wonderful boy that
quick.”
I leaned back in the chair and let out a long sigh, wiping my eyes. “I
didn’t see this breakup coming,” I whispered, catching a cry from escaping
my throat. “I was way off on this one, Mom.”
“I know you think that, baby, but I don’t believe for a moment that
you’ve lost any of your skills when it comes to life and love,” she began.
“In fact, I’d bet this is a teaching moment for you.”
“I wanted one great love, Mom. One,” I stated, turning toward her. She
wiped tears from my eyes and pulled me in for a hug. “I truly thought Clint
was that person.”
“I know you did,” she agreed. “Dad and I figured you had as well, but
guess what, honey?” I pulled away from her and met her eyes before she
finished. “Life has thrown you another curve. Just like when David died
and then again when you met Perry. Look how you helped Perry through
his grief and the way you were there for him. The two of you healed
together and now you’re close friends. You should be proud of that.”
“I am, but sometimes I feel like I didn’t save enough for me. Does that
make sense?” I asked.
“That’s because you give so much to others. Your sweet and sensitive
soul has always been that way, and I’m not asking you to change, but like I
said, you’re barely an adult. Give yourself a break, son.”
“First, David leaves me after only a year and then the same with Clint.
What about me is only worth a year?” I ruminated.
Mom tsked and swatted my hand. “First off, David died, honey,” she
clarified, frowning at my ridiculous comment. “Second, Clint went through
a life-changing event and perhaps he was so overwhelmed that he
committed to something he wasn’t ready for,” she advised. “But I, for one,
do not see how either of those events stops you from trying again. You love
hard, son. That is what you do. Don’t give up so soon.”
I reached for and held her hand. “But how can I be sure the next time?”
I asked, needing her reassurance as well as her guidance.
“You can’t be,” she admitted, much to my chagrin.
I rolled my eyes and tapped her hand in disappointment. “Thanks,
Mom,” I replied sarcastically. “I appreciate the support.”
Mom’s eyes narrowed, and she squeezed my hand to make sure I was
paying attention. “You don’t need my help, Chad. You’ll always have mine
and Dad’s support, but you’re a special being, so how about we quit with
the pity party?”
Mom held the sides of my face and pulled me closer, kissing my nose. A
single tear slid down my face before I could stop it. “What do I do next?” I
asked.
