…about the cusp of the millenium

I felt so lost.

Alex was doing Y2K work. We were on the inside of it. I was a party to some other inside work that I don’t care to name. I see now that others had some similar issues. The problem for me was the isolation.

Ian did have the help of his public grade school. It was such a boon for us to move into an excellent public school district.

then, a local, private naval academy nearby. When I got so sick that I just couldn’t even move. It was a boon for Ian. He got away from my smoking that had gone out of control. Something bizarre happened to me when I went 3 weeks without sleep. I was in an ambulatory coma for 4 years. Smoking 4 packs of cigarettes a day. Sleeping 2 hours on and 2 hours off throughout the day and night uncontrollably. It was a sick situation. But a huge benefit for Ian as I was taken out of the picture so that people who could help him could step in. It was such a lovely school and so sweet for me to see him there safe and sound.

Ultimately something extremely unfortunate happened. But he got a good 4 1/2 years there first that formed his heart, mind, body and soul. I will always be grateful for those years.
