Seriously folks, I’m not trolling for sympathy here. Really, I’m not. But I do appreciate everyone’s nice words of support during this crazy rollercoaster ride that the Busy-Lazy boys have been on lately. Truth is, anypony who knows me in real life—or in virtual life even—can tell you that a) I’m a pretty self-aware kind of guy, b) despite my admittedly limited range of emotions, I’m actually pretty good at working through my personal shizz, and c) I’m half-robot anyway, so, you know… I’m pretty sure that I’ve started to come to peace with what happened. Live and learn, etc. On my commute home, I was sitting in the quiet car when my iPhone rang. I didn’t recognize the number, but I picked it up anyway. Turns out it was my insurance company calling to confirm that they removed our temporary daughter from my insurance plan. I asked the nice lady on the other end of the line if I would be liable for the medical bills that were incurred during the five days that our temporary daughter was covered by my plan. The nice lady said, “No, we’ve deleted her from your policy. It’s as if she never existed.” I know she was just trying to be nice (and she was), but her comment hit me hard. As the text exchange I had with busy daddy last week clearly demonstrates, our temporary daughter did exist. Just not long enough for us, I guess. Que sera, or so they say.
