Ohh how I miss Dallas.....mostly the people.
It’s been years since I’ve talked to Michael M. on the phone, but it was if we had just spoken yesterday. I often reminisce about my days in Dallas, spending hours with the people who had become my family away from home. We were all so close, and the dynamic was just like a family as well. We had the ever forgiving older brother who would often times give the shoulder off his back to help us out, that was Michael. Gabriel was the charismatic one who marched to the beat of his own drum, Danny the intellect and pint size (he was my sister that was a mister), Daniel was the only one that had his shit together probably the first born in the family. EJ was mother hen. The group grew, people came and went but this was the original 6. I have so many memories with these guys and they were all so good to me more than they ever knew. I wonder sometimes that if I had never met Steve if I would have tried to get back to Dallas. I wouldn’t change the way anything has turned out, I have no regrets…well some…but I don’t regret meeting the man that loves me without reserve. I really feel he loves me to no end, and thank god for that because Lord knows I have challenged him throughout the last 13 yrs. I wish I had been in Dallas longer though; I was just starting to become my own person, although I wasn’t responsible for taking care of my mental state. I feel like that had a lot to do with why I wasn’t successful the 2nd year there. Michael and I discussed having a reunion and all of us meeting in Austin, and I got so excited. Other than with Steve I don’t think I’ve ever been closer with a group of people beside them. I hope we follow through with this. It would be awesome to see everyone, but I know everyone might not go. We’ve all changed so much, and some of the friendships aren’t what they used to be. We shall see what comes of this conversation between Michael and I, because no one has said a damn word in the group we created..lol.
