“My brain hurts a lot…that’s all we’ve got.”
May 25th has such a special significance to me now – because it’s the anniversary of this…
2017 is when it happened – and I was hopeful but not expectant. Just hopeful. Never believing I would get greeted in the way I did. I know we shouldn’t succumb to nostalgia and it’s bad to live in the past but…I was in such a good place – and Jim was just sooo welcoming and I felt like – like…GOLD! It was just this beautiful, joyous moment and I wish I could live it over and over again. And I keep trying to get it and reach for it and obtain it again and again…and…
It’s just not there. I feel like I have overstayed my welcome. The door is open and Jim is holding out his arm and saying “Off you go. The exit’s this way, Larrrrrelllllle. Your time’s up.”
That’s why I always seem to live in the past. It has the most beautiful memories.
Thank you, Jim – for having ever made me feel welcome in the first place. I’m sorry if I overstayed my welcome.
