Over the years, I’ve learned a little about life.. the way it goes so fast and takes so many people you love with it. I particularly remember one faint memory of mr. jackson.. and it wasn’t a good one. He had been very sick and was getting harder and harder to handle, his days became less and less and eventually I was reuniting with my child hood neighbor mrs. jackson at a funeral for a guy I particularly didn’t like. I had felt so bad for the woman, not because she lost her husband but because she was putting up with it for so long, and finally her fight was over. I cried- the first night realizing life doesn’t last forever and soon the sweet old lady would be gone.. so, I decided i was going to visit her.
She wanted to leave. She has been wanting this for a long time. I seen it in her tired eyes at two in the morning when she would switch the light on as I stumbled through the front entrance of our apartment. I could see the disappointment and fear of not knowing what I was going to say or do. I stand slumped over breathing heavily at her. She stood there silent gazing down on me with her arms crossed and her feet standing military fashion.
How drunk I was determined how I treated her. 6 scotches in im feeling a little frustrated and irritable, usually i try to limit myself to 3. that’s when I’m feeling loose and optimistic. But the night she left me I lost count after 13. I don’t remember much besides watching her blurry shadow figure leave out our front entrance. And I haven’t seen her since.
