Always good to catch up. Even if it’s over email. I like hearing about your life. I am happy you feel ok sharing it. I always realize that we are bound by a few things that will never really go away. For that, I am grateful. We can still laugh and be curious and be grateful of the time we spent together. Very much unlike the time many thought we spent. No one knew except you how hard I struggled during those years. Struggling so much, exhausted, to the point it changed my body for a certain amount of time. Most of all I am grateful those years were spent with you and I’m happy our special place is still as we left it. I got a kick out of hearing your daughter may go to school there. Through it all, we still can savor the old memories. Days of yesterdays and nights about two kids….growing and going through some real adult shit. I don’t have any energy to search for some clever quote. I never threw your cards out. I never threw that note saying “you were here.” You cared about me more than anyone I’ve ever met and I’m so grateful for that. You cared about me when I had zero to give you better than you already had it and for that, I know you were honest and in love. You still have me in awe and I’m still impressed by your words…..over email…..as we did so many years ago.
I went to work all those nights with a smile on my face. I had someone to live for.
