Your hands didn't move well neither did mine... new years will bring me to you...
Man, why do things change? why do people grow up so fast...... today I got to talk to a few people I hadn't talked to in a long time. The first was more like a friedn of my parents who is going through a messy divorce. They have 3 kids and were both active in our church. I love their kids so much... But she is really depressed and not working and such.. and I can't help but to think about how a year ago her and her kids were happy.. her marriage wasnt great.. but it wasnt ending... and she actually worked.
Then I had a run in with an old friend I have seen around church lately, but it had been a while before he started coming again. I finally got to talk to him tonight, and we talked about stupid stuff mostly.... but then I finally asked him why he hadnt been at church in a while, to which he replied, "I have reasons, just things have been kinda crazy.. " I just kinda shrugged, because I realize that he is a senoir and that can be tough... then seconds later, a little 11 month old girl runs up behind him and grabs onto his leg... and I was like "oh is that your sister?" And he said "no.. its my daughter." whoa.... I didnt quite know what to say.. but I got to hold her, and she is adorable. He's grown up alot.. its kinda strange to see him with her, I've actually never seen him that happy.
Today got me thinking... these people I know have had so many life altering changes in the past year , for better and for worse. I dont even really know them anymore.. its like people I used to know so well turned into strangers in the course of one year. That got me thinking.. where will I be one year from now? and will I be someone no one knows.. or somone no one wants to know.......
