Although the memory haunts me to this day, I have to admit I realized what love looked like in those moments. It was many years ago I was a raging drug addict concerned about my next high. I had left my house with my current mate, leaving my child with the ex-not knowing where I was heading, just knowing a party awaited somewhere.
I can’t recall the details of the evening other than waking up on my living room floor. I was taken aback when my eyes finally focused on seeing the ex-sitting beside me with a cloth on my head. I remember asking what had happened and what day it was. It turns out I had been on that floor for nearly three days barely breathing.
To this day I have never forgotten that moment. I realized it was the ex who sat three days keeping my child safe watching over me at a time when I was careless, selfish, and immature. you may think the focus is the ex and we had a happy reunion. The lesson for me was love comes from even the most unexpected people and no there was no reunion however our friendship and love remain today.
