“Are you sure you want to do this? It’s not too late to back out, you
know.” My mom pleaded with me for the millionth time, unable to hide her
fear of the ocean. And boats. And really water in general. Sometimes it
amazed me that she showered. It was justified, though, her fear that was. At
least in my eyes and hers, but I’d already signed on, completed the training,
and would see this through.
Now, whether my new job as a cabin steward panned out or not would be
the true test.
Gods of the sea, give me the strength to not be me.
“Yes, Mom.” Good lord, would she ever get over this? I understood her
fear, having watched me nearly drown when I was four. But whereas that
drove me to become the best swimmer I could be, it only pushed her further
back in the healing process. The poor woman was beside herself since I’d
made the decision to join the crew of the cruise ship Magdalena, thanks to
my best and really only friend, Darcy, who was a chief cabin steward
aboard the ship.
Given the fact I’d spent my first few days of training in the infirmary
with motion sickness, that only made matters worse in her eyes. But for me,
once I got my sea legs it was smooth sailing from then on out.
He-he, smooth sailing. I crack myself up.
“Mom, you deserve a break and I need a job. This is a win-win for both
of us.” I hoped. Fuck, if I was wrong I’d be totally screwed and stuck in the
middle of the ocean with no way out.
“You’re my baby boy and I don’t need a break from you, nor have I ever
considered you a burden. We’re a team, you and me. I don’t want you to go,
especially not where you’re off to.” She dared not say boat or ship or any
water vessel for that matter for fear of cursing the trip. “I do understand
you’re an adult and make your own decisions, but it doesn’t mean I have to
like them.”
Did she truly understand, though? Hmm, the jury was still deliberating.
She spoke her truth, though. Mom would never give me anything but
that. She always said, “We may not have a lot of money or at times any, but
we always stay true to our word and earn what we have.” The woman was
wise beyond her years.
My inability to sleep all night, nor nap, had plagued the poor woman
since I came running out of her womb and right into the waiting world.
Diagnosed with hyperactivity at the young age of four, then as an adult with
ADHD, she’d never had a break. We’d tried every medication known,
whether prescription or holistic, and nothing worked but coffee. Even that
was minimal at best.
Yes, I’ve been drinking coffee since I was four. Don’t shame me.
For all intents and purposes, I was just…me. Or as Mom preferred to say,
I was unique. My own person and her special little man.
