Reading history paper while listening some easy tunes, I was reminded of those college days...
It was probably sophmore year, Sarah was completely addicted to Dixie Chicks, who had just released a new (at the time) album named "Wide Open Spaces". She drove home to Afton and visited family on the weekends frequently, and she said that was the only album she listened to. She took me back to her house for some sort of holiday that I no longer remember, and we listened to Dixie Chicks over and over again. I didn't understand much of the lyrics back then, I hummed along when Sarah sang along to the CD with a passion.
Listening to this album again, I am reminded of the very-much-missed friend afar, and the warm spring wind blowing into my hair as we drove on Interstate 80. Friends have moved on over the years, and some of them have gone through different stages in life. My friendship with them though, has not diminished a bit because of the distance that set up apart (at least I think so). I often heard that one of the best time in one's life is during college, where one can make true, life-long friends. College ended before I realized it, and I am so proud and blessed with my good friends, who I can count on any time. I truly believe that I am a fortunate sole.
