Ever since contact has been
established, I think Kasondra has lived on the roof. She is there until the
last wisps of light remain and then she finally comes down for the evening.
They have been communicating back and forth with the dry erase board from the
Produce Department and binoculars.
I will have to admit, Kasondra has
had a wonderful energy level increase after she found out Brad was alive. Janet
and Kim have also been elevated as well but there is just a different energy. I
mean they are all excited that Brad is alive but there is a different energy.
It is like when my mother passed away. My dad and I were mourning the same
person but one person was mourning his wife and the other person is mourning
his mother.
Janet is celebrating the survival of
her son and Kim is celebrating the survival of her younger brother. Those two
have literally known Brad all of his life. And I think you are kind of
genetically required to love your family members. But Kasondra has made the
conscious choice to spend the rest of her life with Brad. You cannot choose
your family, yet Kasondra has chosen Brad. So in a way, I think that makes
their bond more special. I am extremely happy for all three of them. I guess
technically I am happy for all four of them since I am sure that Brad is
overwhelmed as well.
However…
I am worried that all three of the
ladies over here are living in a bit of a fantasy world. We are going to do our
best to get Brad and his crew to us and I know all about to power of positive
thinking. But I think they need to understand the danger level of what that
crew is hurling themselves into face first. They are jumping headlong into the
lion’s den. A million things could go wrong between now and then and during the
mad scamper on the way over here.
I’ve kind of try to stay away from
the whole biblical thing with this event. I do really feel like He owes us at
least some measure of hope. But talk about someone sticking it in and breaking
it off. I cannot imagine the torture all three of these girls would go through
to have their fiancé/son/brother be six feet away from the produce dock and see
him get drug down and mauled by a pack of these things.
I know. I know. Positive attitude. But
that is a real and plausible outcome. And I am wondering if we should at least
plan somehow for that emotional train wreck. Kasondra will flat out tell you
that Brad is a momma’s boy. Brad will admit he is a momma’s boy. Now imagine
you are the momma or that momma’s boy. How will Janet react if Brad is caught
in the middle of a shamble on the way over here?
I guess it is one of those things
where we should cross that bridge if and when we come to it. But I am giving
Brad and his group about one chance in three to make it over here unscathed.
I hope I am wrong…
