My first post:
Last night I was driving with my best friend Dave, yes in the snow. as it was falling we were discussing the usual things...Life, love, Happiness and Batman the Musical (don't ask). but as we were driving I had my new favorite musical on in the background. "The Story Of My Life" now this is always a surreal thing for me, but the whole show is about two best friends who have known each-other practically their whole lives and one of the friends writing the others eulogy, and yes this musical makes me cry every single time including last night. But there was this moment you see as we were driving (as slow as humanly possible) were we stopped talking and these lyrics came on
"THEN THE ANGEL SOULS WERE WIDE AWAKE AND ALIVE ON EVERY SINGLE FLAKE. THEY WHIRLED ALL AROUND US AS WE STOOD LIKE STONE. THOUSANDS OF ANGELS WITH LIVES OF THEIR OWN. EACH ONE WITH A SEPARATE STORY JOINING IN ONE BURST OF GLORY. BUT THEN THE SNOWFLAKES SCATTERED AND THEY FLEW AND OUR ANGELS DID TOO."
And the only thing I could do was shed a tear, for here I was with my best friend sharing stories, Laughing, talking about love and pain and life. and always knowing that someday this will end, not the friendship perse' but our lives separating in some sort of Chaos whether we lost loved ones, or moved. someday this will all end. No this is not a sad post really it is more...eye opening and makes you want to be in the moment for longer. and enjoy what gift you have been given and I have been the gift of eternal friendship with Dave, and Kathy and Kristina! this is going to be my stories for you to read
Thank you.
So moving Chris...thank you so much for sharing. I'm hoping one of these days, Joe and I will be able to move closer to Ohio and we can catch up on life. I miss my brother so so much. *hugs* Looking forward to reading more from you!!
