I thought about Bill telling me I was special. And my sister saying she loved me.
And my mom, too. And even my dad and brother when I was in the hospital.
I thought about Patrick calling me his friend. And I thought about Sam telling me to do things.
To really be there. And I just thought how great it was to have friends and a family.
As we went into the tunnel, I didn’t hold up my arms like I was flying. I just let the wind rush over my face.
And I started crying and smiling at the same time. Because I couldn’t help feeling just how much I loved my aunt Helen for buying me two presents.
And how much I wanted the present I bought my mom for my birthday to be really special.
And how much I wanted my sister and brother and Sam and Patrick and everyone else to be happy.
But mostly, I was crying because I was suddenly very aware of the fact that it was me standing up in that tunnel with the wind over my face.
Not caring if I saw downtown. Not even thinking about it. Because I was standing in the tunnel.
And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite.
Tomorrow, I start my sophomore year of high school. And believe it or not, I’m really not that afraid of going.
