章 260: Balance

After receiving a stack of papers printed out from his computer, Dr. Walker handed them over to Mr. Atkins and started reiterating the instructions. He provided examples of what I should eat and how often I should eat so I can get to the national weight average for boys my height.

"If I can gain more weight, will I grow taller too?" I cut in, feeling more than a little self-conscious about how short I was.

Dr. Walker gave me a friendly smile. "Nothing is guaranteed, but I'm positive you'll grow at least a little. Don't let it worry you too much. I've known some young men, who were completely healthy, and they didn't have a growth spurt until after they graduated high school. I've also known some who peaked at 5'8" in elementary school. It's all based on genetics and random luck."

"Genetics?" I thought back to when Noah and I discussed how tall I could be. So there's still hope. I won't be this short forever.

Mother’s Day.

Just another day with a fancy name.

For those who have strained or even no relations with their mom, just know that you’re not alone. I’m here. (Jake’s here.) Not all mother-kid relationships are ideal and that’s okay. And that goes for all relationships. Parents, children, siblings, extended family and so on. Just because you share the same blood doesn’t mean you’re obligated to owe them anything whether that be your time, love, or money.
