I sat in the house for three years doing nothing, watching TV and patiently waiting for my husband to return, but he never did.
I had to accept that he was gone and that nothing could bring him back.
Percy, my dog, was the only thing that kept me sane at the time. When I decided it was time to leave the house, Percey accompanied me, and he was now returning to college with me. Many people have asked if he has been trained, and I would tell them that he has. Percy was trained to bite, but he never did. I left my job for a man who didn’t care if I lived or died, and I was ready to live again. The first thing I had to do was return to Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning as well as take a certification course. I had to recertify as a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning service technician. I gave up my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C work to marry a jerk who thought it was unmanly to be a Heating, Ventilation, and A/C serviceman. A year later, I lost his child, and he thought I was even less manly. He left with his secretary and never returned. I was mourning the loss of both my child and the jerk. I had no idea one of my best friends was still employed by the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Corporation. He and I had rekindled our friendship within six weeks of returning to work. He thought I was an amazing Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning serviceman, and he wanted to know how I talked them into letting Percy go to college with me.
