Awwww, Christy... as the wife says, you just made me go all melty!
I love you too and still hold what we had then in a special place in my heart too. Feels nice to look back on it and feel in a way like it's alive and always safe, you know?
I feel so bad about those couple years that we were distant.... really that was my fault... I know I've said I'm sorry before but I'll say it again.
Mainly it just feels good to know that you're out there and happy (and you're with Marty so I know you're safe and taken care of, and who to go after if you're NOT). It's funny: in high school when we were together, I felt like you were the love of my life and Margo was like family, like my sister. And now it feels like you are family...I swear in a way I feel even closer to you than I did back then. And really it all started that spring... I think we had to go through that distance in college and after (he justifies!) same as all families do. But you are like a sister to me (and I don't think Rita would mind me saying that) and I feel lucky too. And you and Marty getting married was a big surprise, but I'm happy for you. It's funny how everyone says with Margo and me that they knew it all along... what's cool for me is seeing you and Marty and how PERFECT A FIT you two are and thinking, "God, how couldn't I SEE this? It was right in front of me." But I guess that's why that flash of deja vu.
Anyway I was just nervous because I DO love you and care for you and Marty, and didn't want to make you uneasy... felt like I had to clear that piece with you... but also wanted to share it with you, because it was special to me and I knew it was to you too, and I wanted to make sure it met with your approval. I guess *g* means it does, huh?
Now... are you gonna wear the orange bikini up north?? ;-) xo bri
P.S. It wasn't really a "class"; it was a memoir writing workshop I took for four weeks right after the semester ended; there were about 12 people in the class I'd say (11.2, actually, hahahaha) and the instructor gave us a choice of six different topics to write about: death of a pet, the time you lost your virginity... the other ones I don't remember. And I DID read it aloud but as you saw the names were changed to protect the guilty. xo bri
