what a difference in a year...
so- yesterday was a friend's wedding/handfasting, which got Ron and I to watching our own handfasting video- which was, as I had said- just a little over a year ago.
And Wow- what a difference a year in the life is...
The people who were such a big part of our life- that we HAD to have them there- that now we don't even speak to.
For one reason.
Or another.
The people who have always been in our lives and somehow we forgot how damned much we love them, and how much we miss seeing them, hugging them, and talking to them.
This weekend reminded me of how much I miss so many people.
And while I was happy for the couple (and both were insanely gorgeous and glowing), and I was happy to see so many friends, at the same time, I was and am deeply saddened on a level that I don't quite understand because time keeps passing and weird rifts seem to appear that I don't think I understand.
And weekends like this amaze me. And I remember how well we can all get along. And how much of a big family we really still are. There is love. There is a clan.
