Remember waaaaayyyy back when. When one of my favourite people
and I were not speaking and it felt horrible. Well given time and a few emails
things got back to normal and for once in my life (due to her crap luck) I got
lucky and she came to work in the city for the summer.
This is another reason you were hearing crickets around
here. Every spare second I could get I was spending on my Donicamoon.
We did all of our favorites – Shopping, Ikea trip, eating
at a favorite restaurant, dinners and visits at all the beautiful houses she
house sits, and of course going to an independent theater to watch film
festival movies. Her love of artsy movies I can not find in anyone else. She
came to my house, met G, and made fun of T. It was like old times.
If you are artsy there are two films (now available
everywhere) I suggest:
2.
Take this waltz (beware of so long it is uncomfortable period of
nudity)
The only thing that kept us apart (which felt like there was
something constantly) was her work, G, other social activities for both of us.
Then came the bad news (for me anyway). She was being given
back her old job at a University eight hours away beginning with the school
year. The days became numbered and I was torn as this is the exact same time my
sister was getting married. I couldn't be two places at once.
And just like that she was gone. I looked up the price of
flights to visit, tried to come up with some time some how I could make the
trip and it still hasn't happened and doesn't look like it will.
Time just continues to pass and we exchange emails and
pictures and movie and book suggestions but it is just not the same.
Oh what I would do for another Donicamoon....I'd add more minutes to the day, and try to eliminate more so we could do more. Life is too short to have a friend that lives so far away.
