We all learn valuable life lessons and often when we learn them it's too late. One day on the way from school about an hour from home my then wife and I got in a fight. I was stressed and I stupidly stepped out of the car with us yelling back and forth.
Then I watched dumb founded as she drove off. Surely she was just blowing off steam and she'd be back I thought. I mean it was my only way home. So I waited and waited but she never returned. I dialed my friend but she couldn't get me. I thought about walking but it was a long highway and in certain areas there was no real place to walk. I sat on the ground truly unsure what to do next. I mean sure we argued but to drive off and leave me stranded. That was too much. I called our house no answer time and time again.
So I did what I dreaded the most I called my mom. She drove the hour there to get me while I bummed around in Wal-Mart. Then we drove back the hour. But she wasn't there. Not at home. Not anywhere. I was worried and confused.
Turns out she jumped on a plane and went home to her parents having left me stranded an hour from home. I was back now but I was alone. I knew it was not over. If there was one person she hated more than anyone it was her dad. I knew she would be back.....
