Hit the Road Jack

The lyrics to Ray Charles’ 1961 hit, “Hit The Road Jack,” are reverberating through the cosmos. It’s one thing to be temporarily off your game or in need of assistance, however, it descends into an entirely different level when someone willfully lingers for that long at the mental, emotional, and financial expense of another.

Adding insult to injury, the continuation of this behavior after you have suffered an unfathomable loss due to the passing of your son and nephew is simply scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Simple standards must be restored. If not now, When?  If not YOU, Who?

It’s far past time to tell this man in no uncertain terms to Hit the Road Jack and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more. Hit the Road Jack and don’t you come back no more.

Your entitled to begin anew with your remaining beautiful, talented son, free from those that would continue to take from you when you have lost so much already. Be worthy of this transition, this change, recognizing that whatever truth or story you told yourself as to why he wasn’t gone already, you have released and no longer require.

Rebuilding your lives will require constant conscious choice and awareness, learning from every moment and experience of the past. The onous is on you to propel yourself and your son forward, as it is evident this man will stay as long as you allow him to.

And when he tells you, now baby, listen baby, don’t ya treat me this-a way, cause I’ll be back on my feet someday, and he will say it, you simply remind him I don’t care if you do, cause it’s understood, you ain’t got no money you just ain’t no good.

And while that may seem inconsiderate, cruel, and harsh, it’s far kinder than he has been to you.

In time, you’ll find that peace, love, joy, and happiness have found you again as they are all gifts you give yourself, when you are ready, and are not dependent on another or any external person, place, or thing.

Many, Many, Blessings and Best Wishes to you and your son.
