“Run!”

I pretty much start my blog posts out by saying that I did not sleep well because sleep is difficult for me but it eventually happens.

Well, last night was no exception! I peruse my phone to distract myself and possibly get tired for a while and then I put on an audio rosary when I think I am close to falling asleep. That’s what I did last night (or this morning), and just as I was almost asleep I had a memory of probably when Sean was 14 and instead of falling asleep, I kept laughing!!

I think it is such a random memory but I remember that it made me laugh, Sean laugh, and the spectators in their car laugh as well! When Sean was 14, I was still driving and he was not driving yet so we went to eat at Famous Hamburger on Michigan Avenue.

So, this is a seven year old memory but I could not forget laughing! It was 3 o’clock in the morning and I had to text Sean because I could not stop laughing! And I actually got a response:

I had texted him Adam Sandler‘s acceptance speech at the Gotham awards so that is what he was talking about and I loved that he actually remembered it!

I was still driving and still in a manual chair back then. We had just left the restaurant and he was pushing me to the car. We got stopped by a crosswalk and then it started to rain just a little bit. Once the crosswalk changed to walk it was only like that for a moment before the blinking ‘don’t walk’ started. I told Sean to, “Run!” And I started pumping my arms in my chair. I started to laugh and I heard Sean laugh as I turned my head and saw the couple in the car right at the stoplight laughing too!

I have no idea what made me think about that memory from so many years ago but I can still clearly see those people laughing as it started to rain. I used to do silly stuff like that! But now, I think my disease is getting a little too advanced for my enjoyment. At least my complete enjoyment! I don’t mind living in my memories though especially ones that make me laugh so hard!!!
