Round 9: October 2013
Owen Fox is 31 years old.
(Stephanie December is 41 years old.)
My roommate died on me.
She’d been sick for a while. But she’d been powering through the illness, just saying that it was an annoying cough that would go away eventually. Then I found her cold on the sidewalk when I got home from work.
I’m going to miss her. I have family in town, but she had nobody. It was sad. And after living together for two years, we were never going to be the best of friends, but for a while, we had each other. I hope she finds some peace.
In the meantime, I’ve got Stephanie to keep me company. After I retired from the counseling business to make art, the December family was transferred to a new counselor who has really brought the family together. She and I still talk occasionally, and well, we didn’t do much talking this time.
It just happened. I didn’t plan it, and I don’t want to be seen as taking advantage of a former client. Honestly, she took the lead in this, but if she doesn’t see a problem with it, then I won’t worry. Besides, it’s nothing serious. At least it takes my mind off of the last big thing that happened this month.
I’ll just continue reading these art history books to try to master a new technique.
In happier news, a child is born!
Jodie and Frank‘s surprise son looks just like his brothers Tommy and Danny, with medium brown hair and
gray eyes.
In memorial to their oldest, but still acknowledging that this is not the same boy, he is named Jesse Thomas.
- Title ref: Dangerous – Within Temptation.
- So, I could have done more to save Edie, yet I didn’t. It’s not that I didn’t like her, but I was kinda more focused on Owen and Steph. Oh well. RIP.
- This kid was going to have Thomas or a female variant of the name as the middle, but I didn’t come up with a first name until I saw Jodie go into labor. Oops. I like that it’s another boy, though I was hoping for another Nate instead of another Tommy.
« Who I was and I will always be Remember those walls I built? »
Middle name Thomas is a nice little tribute to the older brother he’ll never know, I think!
I agree! 🙂
