Journal Eight

"I can see i never should have left you alone", Phineas had told me. I  didn't understand why he was there. He asked me where i got my clothes. I dont remember if it was meant as an insult or not. Knowing him he was laughing within his head about it. I pulled off my sweater and underneath i was wearing a rain slicker, which i used to wear when i went sailing years before. Phineas just stood there and studied it. I wasn't sure if it was a good stare or bad. He actually told me he liked the cut of it. I was so surprised i lost my breathe. I pulled that off too and underneath i wore an army shirt. He looked at it and finally replied and said "very typical". He smiled at it for a while while he worked hard to get out of the chair. He told me i should have just wore the army shirt all day, i am not surprised he said that though. It felt weird to see him on crutches. I mean i saw him on them last year when he broke his ankle playing football but i never thought id see them again. He was very good at using them though being careful with every move he made. "In spite of everything, i had welcomed each new day as though it was a new life". I till this day try to do that.
