Epilogue
I crossed the finish line, received my finisher’s medal, collected my tchotchkes [including a very nice pair of flip-flops], and turned toward home. It was nearly 11:00 when I stepped off the Parkway. Eulogy would be opening for brunch. Tempting as it was, I missed the girls. Well, more importantly I wanted to tell them how Daddy blew up, Daddy walked, but Daddy didn’t quit.
When I came into the house, just past 12:30, Mariel greeted me at the door.
She saw the medal on my neck.
“Daddy!!! You won!!!”
I hadn’t thought so; but I may have been wrong.
