Wellllll

It's amazing. At the bottom of everything, after losing my ability to play rugby, my academic superiority, having my love thrown out and my trust betrayed, after losing my future in the Air Force, and having my hopes of financial security slashed...
I thought I had no one at all, and that the person I had depended on abandoned me. He did. But I have found friends and people coming out of the woodwork who have been there all along. It was up to me to reach out. Rook buddies, co-workers, family members, old friends, religous figures, and most of all, my mother.
She bought a $430 plane ticket to get here tomorrow to stay with me over the weekend and into Monday to support me, give me company, and keep me from doing anything stupid (or anything emotionally destructive). So. I will survive. Because that's what I do. Right, Dad? :)

Long road. I'll get there.
