This afternoon and into the evening he had pain in his legs. He’s determined to go to school tomorrow and to go on the field trip Friday. It’s outdoor education. Hiking and walking. He’ll do it too. In pain. And I will be with him. Just in case. A special case as parents aren’t supposed to go because of Covid. Do you know how badly I wish I didn’t have to?? That my worries and his teachers worry about him didn’t “matter”. But that’s not the case. No. It isn’t. And I’ll walk and hike with him because that’s what I do. My fat outta shape ass stuck on the couch in my own hell with my own health issues will do it with him. Damn right I will. Because I am his witness. In the thick bullshit of it all, I am his witness. No victims here. But damn those virtual hugs sure would be nice in person.
