A reminder of someone

A reminder of someone means that pieces of your heart are attached to them. Having pieces of your heart attached to someone or something is better than no attachments at all.

Falling

In some alternate reality, I am just sitting here with my windows open as the city quiets down and folks on the beast coast enjoy a nice fall night. Someone has a fire pit going in the town and the smoke seems to travel well here. I am pulled back to The Can, to The Biscuit. The smell of dried burning leaves and the world quieting down. Now, maybe more than ever, I know that peace and happiness are so much more valuable than debates and criticism. Somewhere we got caught in the blur of life. I blame technology. Ha. I think about what you would be doing. A relaxing Sunday of visits, a pot of gravy with some ravs, maybe a roast and some veggies. A call to ask me if I want to stop by for dinner.

Check out day

We are checking out of 5528 West Avenue. We have to clean this place and pack everything up. It’s been a nice refuge all things considered. I kind of want to box your room up and bring it to where you will be staying. I know I can’t do that. Last night when Lisa was in there the stuff flew off the closest shelf and the hangers started moving. Maybe you were pissed we had to pack up. The Bible card also flew off the day I was in there...hours after the AC was on. We miss you mom. Please Wake up.
