I am still working in the ER. I so enjoy the job, but I did apply for another position at the hospital, I haven't heard anything yet. God knows what is best, and if this job I applied for is not for me, well that is okay.
My, son, Nathaniel and I took a friend and her daughters to The Broadmoor today, she had never been. I believe the walk around the lake did me some good. I love going to The Broadmoor, the architect alone is such perfection. Later, my son and I decided to have dinner, so we went to the grocery store; purchased a cheap bag of chips. Then we went to 7-11 and purchased a Big Gulp with two straws and then picked up a sandwich. Nathaniel wanted to eat at the Garden of the gods, so we drove out and spent some much needed family time. It was a rather lovely evening to catch up on things in our lives.
As Nathaniel and I were driving away, he shared his dreams with me. He would like to be a photographer, but a counselor he had a year ago laughed at this idea and told him it would never happen. You know, that really pissed me off, because my son has a great eye and takes some phenomenal photos. I told him that he should not believe this bitches remarks. It always amazes me that a person could have great support from family and friends, but it only takes one bitter person to ruin it. I reminded my son that he should never listen to people whose hearts are crusted with bitterness, regret and fear. I told him that he should never give up on his dreams. I asked my son if he has seen me ever give up on my dreams, and he said, "no."
There will be hurdles my son will have to jump, but I know he will be okay. I pray that Jesus will always have his back. He tries so hard. I am very proud of my son, and I believe that one day his dreams will come true.
And to the crusty hearts that unfortunately my son has met, and will continue to meet along his journey. Fuck You!!!
