and she always slept with a packed suitcase under her bed... just in case

Tonight was a great night. I was half levitated across a bridge ( I weighted too much to cross it myself so the wizard had to help but I was too heavy for her to just float me she could only support 3/4 of my weight)I killed a death knight, was enlarged to 13 feet tall and 880lbs covered myself in the ecto-plasma of the banshee I killed and ran while enraged into certain death only to be converted as a squire to the black knight I would say I went out with a bang. I also said good night to two of the guys that I have known since preschool, since they were about 12. It was oddly hard, I mean Really until this summer I have not seen these people in like 4 years but I have also always known they would be there for me. I mean Jeff who lived in AA was always my secret backup plan I knew that if I got in too deep he could save me. I almost had to call him over the huge debacle I got myself into that night, luckily for him he fell asleep and I got out the window because if I had had to call Jeff that probably would have been his last night alive. Anyways i digress, getting back on point it was weird for while never seeing these individuals they were always my safety net, I am suddenly sans safety net.

Anyways what this whole safety net thing brings me to is back to the title. I Think it was my first grad teacher who said those words in the title to me. We were talking just two days ago
about her mother, she went to pick her mother up for a day of fun, not sure if her mother would want to go on a surprise trip but then chastising herself for truly for their whole life her mother has kept a packed back under her bed for just in case. I have always lived by the idea that I could leave everything I owned behind except for what would fit in a farmer Jacks paper bag, I have known forever that the contents of such is all that I would need to make it but I have never before tested that I had just known. Now I am testing that theory. And you know what I CAN DO IT. Kevin I will live up to your expectations.
