with a little one curled up on my lap. laughing and chatting with two very special women. the sun is setting, great music is accompanying this beautiful moment in time. as the stars come out and the crickets begin to sing they lullabies, the little one on my lap tells me about the angels she can see in the stars. how you can only see them through a special filter. in that moment, I realize, she believes in magical things. just as much as I do. and probably much more. she cuddles back in and listens to us talk. bundled in a blanket, staying cozy & warm.
its been so long since I've seen my friend laugh and look completely happy. i have missed your smile my friend. and your laughter. we both know how to completely let go and enjoy the moment. there are times we both hesitate or feel we must hold back. but i think slowly...ever slowly, we're finding the strength to let it be. because if someone can't handle it, then they aren't meant to be around us. you deserve someone who wants to know it all.
and my new friend...who really isn't so new. someone i feel i have known for years. your devotion to your music is intoxicating. to see & hear you place is magical. you have an air about you...a light comes through when you play. you have found love in an amazing man. you have accomplished so much but know exactly what it took to get there. you appreciate so much and more humble than I could've imagined. you have a grace about you, a peaceful and calm spirit. I can't wait to see the magical time with your name in lights. your ease and confidence make it hard not to be around. your sisters are fortunate to have your example at home for however long it can last.
I am thankful for genuine friends.
