Hobby after all
I found interest in my hobby during one of the darkest times of my life. In 2016 I was doing the best I have done in my life. I’m an admitted slacker. And for many years I just coasted through life working at different factories packing foods or cutting nylon with shears. I can say I have probably had thirty-five jobs since the age of 16. I could never quite find my niche. But after toiling through many different careers I finally found it. I was an IT technician travelling from site to site installing hardware and software for a major insurance company.

All the little Dots
One year ago, today I lost my grandpa Jack. He was an awesome guy. Probably the only person in this world to understand me. I still remember his funeral repass. It was so quiet. You could hear the tick of the sprinklers on his perfectly manicured lawn. Pawpaw as I liked to call him was always trimming or mowing his lawn. It’s the best in the neighborhood he would laugh and say. But that day all I could think of was the way he fell as he was trimming the hedges. Just like in the movies it seemed as if he was moving in slow motion. Down, down, down he went first dropping his shears, then landing on his elbow followed by the shaking and rippling of his blue and white striped shirt. His hat followed its wide tan brim buckled under the pressure. I ran to him as quickly as I could, but it seemed as if it took me ages to get there.
