Chapter 19. Personne ne devient bon à ça.

Une visite de routine chez le dentiste s’imposait avant que Sam ne quitte pour aller travailler au bateau pour 2 mois. Il devra y faire des travaux avant que le reste de la famille n’arrive pour de bon.

– Eh là là… Ces gencives-là n’ont pas l’air en bon état, annonce le dentiste à Sam.

– C’est si pire que ça?

– Et bien, il n’y a presque plus de gencives qui couvrent tes dents du bas. Il faut une chirurgie. Très bientôt en fait.

– Ok…

– On va vous planfier une chirurgie et on va prendre une partie du palais à gauche et à droite. Comme c’est beaucoup en une seule fois, on fait une première chirurgie avec une moitié, et un mois plus tard on fait l’autre.

– Je pars dans 2 semaines pour mon voyage.

– Pourquoi t’es pas venu avant?

Le dentiste est clairement désemparé.

– Je pensais que je viendrais juste pour un nettoyage…

– Ok. Écoute, on est quand même capables de tout faire à la fois, dans 2 jours. On va planifier un suivi juste avant que tu quittes au cas où. Tu sais Sam, faut que tu apprennes à planifier pour éviter les d’imprévus.

– Je vais faire ça.

2 chirurgies et 1 carie plus tard, Sam ne sent même plus son nez. Remarquez la bave qui coule en forme de doigt d’honneur.

*****

Mel envoie un message texte à Sam quelques jours plus tard.

« T’es vraiment rendu à ta retraite, Sam! Tu t’en vas en Floride comme les Snowbirds, et en plus tu manges du manger mou! »

– Hahahahaha… Ouuuuuuchhhhhh… Ça fait mal quand je ris.

– Vas-tu être obligé d’apprendre à rire sans bouger ta bouche?

– J’imagine que oui. Je vais faire ça.

*****

La garderie des enfants organise un party chaque été. On y sert habituellement du blé d’Inde. Je lui dis :

– Tu pourras pas manger ça… Vas-tu vraiment juste boire de la bière toute la soirée pis pas manger?

– Yep! Je vais tellement faire ça!

*****

Après un délicieux souper de sushis où Sam a gentiment massacré tous les sushis pour ne garder que le riz et le poisson :

-Bon… Parlons de l’éléphant dans la pièce un peu, dit la mère à Sam en retenant ses sanglots. On ne te verra pas avant un bon bout, toi.

Sam sourit. Son coeur est rempli de joie. Notre aventure dont on rêve depuis des années est enfin sur le point de commencer.

Mais il est aussi triste d’imposer notre départ à sa famille, qu’il aime de tout son coeur. On va les manquer. Il vont nous manquer autant.

– Vous allez venir nous visiter dans les Caraïbes, dit-il, sachant très bien que rien ne peut consoler sa mère en ce moment.

Il se penche vers sa mère et la serre très fort contre lui. Des larmes roulent sur ses joues. Son père et sa soeur se joignent pour un câlin de groupe rempli d’émotions.

On peut apprendre à faire de la voile, à prévoir les imprévus, à rire sans bouger la bouche et jeûner par soir de party. Il y a pourtant une chose dans laquelle je pense que nous ne deviendrons jamais bon : faire des au revoir.

– OUUUUUCHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Sam hurle après que sa soeur lui aie agrippé la mâchoire avec un trop plein d’amour mal contrôlé.

– JE M’EXCUSE!!! Mais eille, tu ne quitteras pas le pays avant d’avoir eu un vrai bec, Capitaine!

– Je vais faire ça. Je vais faire ça.

La veille de son départ, nous avons reçu un paquet d’amis d’Allemagne avec ce livre. Le timing était particulier…

    I have learned some new items from your web site about pc’s. Another thing I have always imagined is that computer systems have become an item that each household must have for most reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, shop, study, tune in to music and even watch shows. An innovative strategy to complete many of these tasks is by using a laptop. These computer systems are portable ones, small, highly effective and portable.
