I have had to leave my beloved other. I have had to leave Tijuana. And Tere has left me. She has gone to be with her family in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, and San Antonio, Texas, for Christmas. So. And I have had to leave Tijuana. I told you about that, that that would happen that that in future tense on the 19th instant. Yep.
So she's gone and I write this weeks later. Weep weep little me all alone. Well. I have my parents and all the family who gathered around the house on Christmas day. But...
Mom got sick and stayed in bed all day. Couldn't eat the Christmas Eve dinner. Couldn't eat anything on Christmas Day. Sad. Worry. Everyone is worried about her. I ran around organizing and stocking and filling the buffet table, and the sisters helped oh yes, Annie and Gini yes. Yes.
And now, four days later, Mom's better, but....
But now she's going off with poppa Herb on their New Year's vacation late and... I'm to watch the house. I'll go get Tere at the airport on the night of the First. Escort her home to Tijuana and then turn around and come back to San Diego. Won't see much of her until the night of the Kings....
I hope the parents'll be back before that big date with Tere on the Fifth!
Or maybe it just isn't meant for us to get together....
Maybe I am just too selfish to live with another woman. I've had my chances. And lost.Sweet & ugly divorces. From the Bittersweet One (la amarga -- eight years) and the Furious One (la furiosa -- fifteen months)... maybe that's all....
