…a brief glance…

Awww….I can’t believe that it’s here already…and I’m not there to celebrate it with them. *sigh* However…I wish them all the best. Tank, there’s no need to welcome you into the family, you are FAMILY. You have been such a great addition to the circle of friends, A2J, etc, etc. There is no one I would rather see Mer marry than you. I’m so glad we got to chat even a little today. Know that my heart and spirit is with you both as you take this step towards the rest of your lives.

As I write this I have just gotten off the phone from talking Mer (wiping away tears as we speak) – I picked up the phone so quickly when I saw Mer’s face flashing at me on my phone. (bet she doesn’t remember we took that photo when we were having one of our silly moments at my house…) It took all the will not to start crying right then and there as she said I was the last person she wanted to speak to before she slept her last sleep as a single woman. Though I always knew I would be sad that I would be missing such an occassion, the regret and everything I would be missing flashed before my eyes and my heart sank.

Mer and I have been friends for ages, we met at the Banana’s birthday one year. And though we remained friendly when we saw each other, it wasn’t until a couple of years later that we bonded for life, and the red licorice tradition was born. From there we evolved from our personal friendships with each other to the affectionately referred to Posse along with our other Chickas, Ann and Jeswinnie. The four of us have been through many laughs and many tears. In many ways we were alike, but we’re sooo different in many other ways…but that’s what makes it fun.

Anyways, I’ve been interupted sooo many times I’ve lost all train of thought! I just want to say to TANK and MER, congratulations… Love ya!
