Guns & Knives
It’s 4 am. I am passed out on my couch, was watching Dexter while talking to M and fell asleep. I hear sounds in my house. I’m home alone, sounds like someone is trying to break in. I’m in disarray, confused. Who the fuck is trying to break in,
I go into defense mode, where is my gun(everyone in Texas owns a gun). Texas Castle law says my house is my “castle” and I can legally defend my “castle” with whatever force necessary. Unfortunately it’s locked up in the safe in my room. That is where the sounds are coming from.
I go to the kitchen, grab a knife, no two, the sharpest one is dirty, but do I care if I stab someone with steak stains on the knife. I unlock my phone, dial 911 just incase, but I don’t call yet. I know they will be here in less than 5 minutes, advantages of living close to a wealthy neighborhood. Cops respond faster in rich neighborhoods.
I immediately think of M. Should I notify her that I’m about to go into war, and that I love her if I don’t make it back? No time to think. It’s getting louder. Someone is def breaking in.
I creep slowly, bathroom, clear. Office. Clear. Anton’s room. Clear. All of a sudden I have become a SWAT officer, with knives. Ok my room. It’s GO TIME… It was just the wind, banging hard on my open windows. My blinds flapping all over. Whoa. Thank God. I think I will surrender my gun. The city is offering $200 for gun buy back program. Especially after Sandy hook elementary. I don’t need it.

Patience
I remember telling myself I would never do another long distance relationship, especially with someone in Kenya. But here I am. Knee deep in one. M is different though, she is not what I envisioned when I made that declaration. She is so much more. So smart, funny, beautiful inside and out. I feel so strongly for Her. So deeply. The distance sucks but we make it work. She is truly amazing. She makes me so happy. She has changed my life.
The only downside is she has been so busy lately, it makes it so much harder to talk. I wish we could whats app more, Skype more, share pictures and videos of our day more. I’m looking forward to her going back to KE. I feel like things will be much better. I can tell the joy she has when in KE. When she takes care of her patients and she tells me all about it. I can tell that brings her true happiness. It’s satisfying and fulfilling for her. I will just have to be more patient moving forward, though sometimes that’s easier said than done.
