Road Trip (Leaving Texas)

It was time to head home.
We decided to drive to Oklahoma.

I got a message on Facebook from a childhood friend saying that she lived in Dallas.

So, we did a spur of the moment stop for lunch.
It was nice to see Nancy.

I haven't kept in contact with anyone from High School.
I was ready to leave and I left that part behind.
For years I didn't want anyone to find me or contact me.
I was ashamed of how my life had turned out.
I had PTSD and for a long time that was very devastating.
I had been divorced.
My life just hadn't turned out like I thought.

...but sitting there with Nancy was kind of cool.
I was able to tell her about my life and what I've been doing for the past 12 years.
I gave a brief description of my life, my military service, my ptsd, my failed marriages, and my plans for the future.

It was healing to be able to say my life story and feel OK saying it.
