My darling friend, I get up everyday, just like it was yesterday and the day before that. But it is not. I am constantly reminded by my heart that you are not going to make a comment on my facebook, or call or text me. I miss you so much. It is not that we spoke everyday, but it is that you are never going to have a conversation with me ever again. And then I start to cry. Not for you darling, but for me and how much and how long we were in each others lives. Billy Griffith. Our first apartment together! ( I just deleted about 25 lines of memories with you that others do not have to know about!) Vivian and Everett, Me and Jimmy, You and Butch... hanging at the little house in Micco. Sebastian Inlet. River Drive. Charlies Pizza, writing our names on the wall, Jerry's Pizza, the drive-in. More fun than anybody should have ever had. We grew up in the best place in the world! On the ocean, The Cape!, small town Eau Gallie! The library, after the sun set hanging out! People ask me why I ever left. (You know I had to). But no matter how far away I was, you were and are such a part of my life and a piece of my heart went with you on May 18. 2019. All good memories Bren, even thru the challenges that life thru at us. Never our friendship wavering. OMG so much more to share with you today, but, another day...in my journal. I will love and miss you all of my life, and hopefully after I cross over we will be reunited. You my dear one, the sweet one. What a life we had together and so many friends that we had...some have already passed over and I hope that you connect with all of your loved ones , and are whole again. I love you. I will always love you. Pls give me your sign that we talked about.
Please wait...
