Burning Up

Just when I thought things were already bad. Yesterday I went in to pick up another shift at the restaurant only to learn that Ted had just been burned and was taken to the hospital. You may remember last week I mentioned I had a minor burn from the fryer. It seems that it got him too, but a lot worse. I feel horrible. If I had let someone know that there was a problem then maybe Ted wouldn’t have been injured.

I sent him a text message to check in on him and to come clean about knowing about the fryer. He wrote back. Basically he wants nothing to do with me. So now I’ve lost a good friend along with my girl.

I read this incredible story yesterday. It really got me thinking. Here’s someone who had no choice but to be silent and here he is, optimistic against all odds. My silence is a choice and lately it’s really not working out for me. Something’s gotta give.
