Portland here we come. I am so hesitant and worried about this mini-trip. Watching people play Tetris is not going to be fun. We are supposed to attend a gathering tonight with numerous Tetris community members. I am going to be so bored. There will be not a single person there for me to talk to.
We walk up the steps to the house. We are warmly welcomed. With the first step through the door, the Tetris talk begins. This is going to be a long evening.
Bo never leaves my side. Making sure that I feel included in conversations with others; also having side conversations as well. I feel as though I am holding him back from experiencing this to its full potential. I go back to the hotel.
Something with such meaning to him as Tetris and I am unable to enjoy it as much as he. This is something that deeply aches inside of me. It’s not that I don’t support him but I just cannot divulge myself into something such as this. A quick phone call home helps to steady my thoughts before I spill over with emotion.
Tomorrow will be a better day, I hope. It has to be. Its qualifications. That has to be exciting, right? I try to convince myself but am not all that successful.
