Distant friends
Kevin Michelle & I became like family when we met years sgo. Like family we had times that were better than others. I didnt really feel the weight of their moving down south until the day when Kevin called that Michelle was pregnant.
We spent hours on the phone laughing and joking. It was bittersweet,all I wanted to do was hug them both.
A few months later,Kevin called to tell me he had Hotchkins. My knee jerk reaction was looking for my keys to go to him, as we did when things came up. Again..the weight of them not near was terrible and all I wanted to do was hug him.
Now Michelle has lost her mother,a woman I loved as well. Both of them hurt,and all I could do was give feeble words. We waited through the night up here,finally I got the call in the afternoon.
All I wanted to do was hug them both.
This may sound a bit selfish on my part,well so be it. I take a friendship very seriously,and not being there for a friend does not sit very well. So,in that I make no appologies.
For now I'll settle with my thoughts and prayers to be with them as well as wishing her a safe journey.
