One More Day

(I wrote this blog 8/27)

It's strange being divorced.  It makes having lost both of my parents and having no children...  something.  It's not as if people don't love me.  I have and amazing step mother.  I have one older blood brother and two adopted/distant blood brothers.  Not too distant.  They are something like third cousins.  I also have very loving aunts and uncles.  I have many close and loving friends - so many! 

I did distance myself quite a bit from EVERYONE.  I've developed some very close relationships locally - finally.  I've been here long enough!  Active addiction for me made relationships impossible.  The amount of support I get from so many is overwhelming.  I am very grateful.  God works through so many of you.  Thank you.

Earlier today, I went to my home for six months - Laguna Honda Hospital.  I have so much support there.  I am the newspapers photographer and seem to be a writer.  I look forward to writing and using my photos soon.  I intend to write a story about my progression in to, through and out of Laguna Honda.  I'm sure I'll post it.

 

 

This may be the version before the typos were edited.  I didn't have time to read it to see.  The edited version should actually be printed and distributed this week.

I may go to school for photojournalism.  I feel like I have a second chance at life. I do miss my old one.  A lot.  I miss the life that could have been.  I miss the life that should have been.  God gave me so many chances to get that life right.  God is amazing about giving us chances.  I managed to destroy those chances every time.  I do have another.  To have another chance at it....  That's amazing.  I am so grateful.  I am very sad about all I lost though.

My neighbor across the hall is a good ol' boy from South Carolina.  He's always listening to sad country music.  Isn't it all?  I mentioned "Good ol Boy" in an earlier blog.  (10/27/13 - That's what I wrote in the notebook 2 months ago.  I really don't remember what blog I mentioned him.)

I had never heard the song, One More Day.  Since I recently did, it's always in my head.  I wish I had One More Day with both my parents.  They are both gone.  More than that, somehow, I wish I had One More Day being married to Susan.  One More Day I was clean.  We were very happy.  I have tears in my eyes.  I will always miss all those happy days.  I pray that someday, I'll be happy again.

 

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me,
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the tv off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do. With one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
