My first solo flight

Since I don’t see some things changed at home, for example, everybody is very careful not leaving obstacles in my path, trying to make me a little bit easier my mobility.

Few days ago, after soaking the grass, as always mom charged me for taking the stairs and left me at the edge of the staircase, but she ran to see Benny who was crying for her assistance, so she left me wondering which way I should walk and a bad calculation pushed me towards the staircase, but at the same time, mom turned to me and ran to stop me, preventing me to initiate the flight into a tailspin. But the luck does not last for a long time.

Mom had  seen me on my bed near  the window, she and dad were encouraging to Benny to ate, and I decided to go and search for them, perhaps Benny needed a little push as he gives me when I don't have breakfast or dinner, I am sure that I turned the correct after the chimney, but  instead of going to the right I did it to left and this time the staircase didn’t move aside, I think  it called me because stepped  into the  infinity and this time, even if mom ran after me, nothing could stop my solo flight towards the end of the staircase.

I’m sure that I could feel that mom was trying to reach me; almost I can imagine her screaming, running behind of me, at always inexorable physical crash. When I got to the floor, it didn’t take too much to feel mom’s arms, checking that nothing was broken and a little later, I felt dad’s arms, hugging us, after all, we both are arthritic and dad thought that he would have to collect bits of at least one of us.

But my flight hours are completed, apparently dad is determined that there is no more attempts because he putted a fence against the ladder that blocks me any opportunity to feel again the effect of gravity.

And meanwhile I will continue enjoying life, and my brothers. Benny continues struggling to stay with us, he loses weight every day and all we encourage him to eat, and he is tired. Lately he has done strange things as sit down with us to watch television. It's like his way of telling that he wants us and that we will always be together.

A month ago doctor said that Benny has no many days, creatinine and urea levels were so high that the computer didn’t  detect them, the phosphates were by the sky. But he still believes that medicine is sometimes wrong and that love can be the best medicine, for one more day.

And the snow comes and goes, sometimes covered every space in such a way that everything is a large wing of Angel, but immediately hastened to the Sun, and from several weeks ago, snow and Sun play and combine.

For my part, I can’t complete enough flight hours to go to visit my grandmothers, but from here I send them both a big kiss, one of those that I keep for special people.

For my friends who are more every day, thank you to continue reading my story, I am sometimes very busy eating carrots or following mom through the house and I can’t write, but I always wait for the better story to tell. There is one that I won’t write, but may one day it will be necessary.

Meanwhile, thank you for reading me!
