Sisters play together in the rain
Here is why yesterday was the best day of my life....I'm sitting with my phone at work, text messaging people...it rings and i opened it assuming it was a text message...paused for a few seconds and looked down to realize I was connected to Justina (damn auto anwser) so I lift the phone up and hear a voice say, "hey kris its your cousin..." at which point I stopped listening cause there was a lot going on and I have caller ID and it was a very very long and for her probably horrible pause later before I realized she had said, "...your cousin Cate" Naturally I freaked out! I have been trying to get the guts to call her all summer but after a year of feeling shot down I decided that it was her place to call me not the other way around so I have been waiting for that phone call for two years. She is leaving for college in DC on wed and she wants to see me before she goes...me of all people to see before she goes! I told her I would cancle anything in the world to see her and so we (justina and jen too) are all going out to lunch on monday making monday the greatest day of my life. I guess what was so good about it was that the few times we ahve talked it had been over polite we are stuck at a family function together conversation but not this one, this was cate being hilarious me being completely open I love her conversation. The call ended before I was ready for it to but then the strangest thign happened. I cried. I sat there at work and cried. I cant ever remember crying from being happy before and it felt so strange but I couldnt stop nor did I want to. I thought about that night at running camp. She came to me and asked that she sleep in my bed with me and for that night I be her cousin and her best friend...both of us knowing that when we woke up I would be the women who was taking the man she loved away from her. I dont think I slept that night...though I probably did I simply remember holding her. Falling asleep to dashboard confessionals and playing with her hair. I know...it wont be the same with cate...but we have been such natural friends since the day she was born...I miss her like crazy.
