Last Time

It was my biggest rock and gem show of the year, where I make the most money. On Friday, 1500 school children come through, and there is no way to do it by myself. A couple of days before the show, my help had to cancel. My ex volunteered to help me, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Well, we were less then two hours down the road when the verbal abuse began. It was a horrible weekend. I realized that a small part of me still had some hope that he and I could work things out and be together again. So, as much as it was a weekend of hell, it was a good thing to go through it, to uncover that part of myself and to let it go.

I took lots of walks in the evenings each day after the show, and I couldn't wait to get back home!

Rock and gem shows were always our special time together away from the stresses of our business doing something together that we both loved. This was our last show together, our last anything together.
