I was talking to an old friend last night who I hadn't spoke to in ages..And we were playing catch up as friends are want to do..What we had been up to, what was new in our lives...Now she is a few years younger than I am, so we have for the most part had different views on life, but are good friends regardless..She comment to me was that I sounded different..I laughed and asked how..this was her response..
Juls I've known you for a really long time and we have been through many ups and downs together and separate. You have always been there for me when I needed you, even if we hadn't spoken in months I knew I could simply pick up the phone and you'd listen for as long as I needed you to. Without question you'd curl up on your couch tea in hand and listen to me all night if that is what it took. Through everything you would give any part of yourself for your friends, but there was always a note or tone missing in your voice, like not all of you was there. It was almost a sad note that something was missing, but sitting here listening to you now, it's like you are complete. Whatever was missing you've found and you sound happy, for that I'm thankful, because if anyone deserves alittle bit of happiness it's you.
I blushed and blustered alittle because I dont deserve any more happiness than anyone else, but I told her..
Mis it's because I finally found that part of me that was missing..I never really understood even though I searched for the answers daily, of where "home" was...Took me this long to realize it wasn't a place, it's a person..It's Christopher, since him life is good..And you know me I'm a simple person all I want in this life is to see my sister happy, see my family happy, live on the ranch and watch that smile just glow from Tiger as he watches his children grow and drive him around the bend..I just want alittle peace, and for the people who seem to thrive on hurting others to go away..
She laughed at me and said that sounded just like me..But it's true...I am a very simple person and want very little from this life but alittle bit of peace and happiness for those I love and to make sure Tiger is happy everyday for the rest of his life..
Maybe I was born in the wrong time..If so..Oh well..I am who I am...and Happy to be so..
