Scene: In the car on the way home from Brandon. We are discussing the what if's of my accident as we have been doing all week. We think it's our way of reminding ourselves of how lucky I was. John has been quiet for a few km's at this point when he mentions a question I asked him last week.
J: You want a serious answer for what I would have done if you had bit it?
T: Yes, that would be nice.
J: I would have done everything in my power to get your book published.
T: *starts to cry* really!? *sniffle sniffle*
J: Yes, I would probably have to edit it within an inch of its life because it's shlock fiction but yeah I would. I know how much that book means to you.
T: *still crying* That's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me. *sniffle sniff* *continues crying*
J: So when are you going to write a real novel...that one about your Opas..."Stories my Opa's told me"? Menno lit is very in right now.
T: I probably should do that...*sniff sniffle blows nose* it's just a shame it took being hit by a car to remind I still had that file on my computer.
J: I dare you write an hour a day and see what happens with it.
He loves me...deeply...dearly...in his own very strange, very quirky, very John way. |
