after i have roared, i did cry, a
lot, and now i have moved on to inappropriate jokes and thoughts. if
you are easily offended, you may want to skip this post. but then i
don't know how you got here in the first place.
i am at the airport, trying to
drink as many double g&ts before i board. i'm sitting here with
my new pink memory foam pillow around my neck. my dad is having an
emergency heart surgery and i'm flying home. whoopsie.
the surgeon is one of the best and
he is close to my family. in fact back in the day he wanted to go out
with me. i didn't want to for some silly reason or other i can't
remember now. in fact i can, but i won't tell you for fear of someone
yelling at me. ups.
my brother reckons if all goes
well, i owe him a date after all. i agree and guess it's the modern
day version of slaying a dragon for a girl.
on a more serious note i guess it
is ideal worst case scenario. a personal mcdreamy for my dad. which
doctor gives you his cell phone number and direct line to the
theatre?
trying to pack when you to travel
into the unknown, trying to keep the tears and the thoughts in check,
is a tricky one. we all know that packing is a bitch at the best of
times.
i'm wearing my leopard pants, not
sure if this is appropriate. but then i will be at least easily
recognizable as the 'daughter from africa'.
i thought about bringing my
camera. after all i'm going to a city in germany i have never been
too. can one do sightseeing on such occasion? i left it at home.
iphone will have to do. i took my little blue backpack though. it
reminds me of happier travel occasions.
i packed a small bag, the lady at
the airport even asked me if i was sure i wanted to check it. yes, i
am, i have shampoo. fuck. yes, you can buy shampoo in germany, but as
i said packing is a bitch and i wasn't thinking clearly.
i had a lot more sarcastic and
funny thoughts before i got here and started writing. now all i can
do to not think about my dad is to wonder whether air france has
really nice wine. they better.
You write so beautifully. Raw and honest. Sending all my positive energy, happy vibes, prayers and meditations into the Universe!!! X
ReplyDeletethank you, thank you!
DeleteI hope all goes well. and yes, go on a date with the guy. you hopefully never need his help again, but it's always good to have some doctors and lawyers available if need be...
ReplyDeletedefinitely - i love me some good lawyers and doctors. we will see about the date :)
DeleteOh my gosh! Safe travels and I hope all is OK with your dad. I've spent the past 2 and a half weeks at a hospital visiting my boyfriends dad. Hospitals are stressful and make you lethargic, so in knowing this, I send you energy and a big hug!

DeleteWait what? You didn't wanna go on a date with Dr-Heart-Surgeon-Guy? #shameful to all the single ladies
