Lost in the memories

I had the most wonderful phone conversation today. I was lost in memories and catching up with my oldest and dearest friend. It was soul soothing. Now matter how long it is between our conversations or meetings we notice the gaps but it's like we still live right down the street from each other. In fact he commented about the fact that my son will be starting middle school next school year. Then he says '....sometimes I feel like we are still in the sixth grade, ourselves..." As he was saying that I realized that we had been friend since the 6th grade. When I lived 5 minutes from him on the westside of Columbus, Ohio. I am now 32, and we've been friend's for over 20 yrs. Unbelievable.

We had been playing phone tag for a couple of days and respectfully I knew that he is extremely busy. He is one of the head hunchos for the glaad organization in NYC. Right now that man is really unreachable and yet he still found time for me. I of course, was humbled and delighted. The fact that he agreed to help w/ another little pet project I'm working on, well.... Needless to say I am very honored that I will have his assistance. To me his help (in my mind) assures the success of the project. He is one of those NEVER FAIL kind of people. He always gives his best and anyone who has ever worked with him or just plain knows him will feel awed. All I can say is that I feel truly blessed for his continued friendship and his unconditionally love that has lasted many years and many miles.
