This year, new years day was not a happy one. My brother passed away four days after Christmas so as you can imagine, my house was packed with people who stopped by to offer their condolences, keep us company and try to keep our spirits high. However after days of this, I had had enough. So I walked out without a word to anyone or a backward glance. That cold New Years Eve night, I found solace in one of my other homes. As close to home as I could get without actually being there, my next door neighbor's house. I took comfort in the fact that it was empty and quiet, just his mom and niece sitting around, watching tv. We sat and talked for a while and he made me feel much better, one of the many reasons I look to him as not only a neighbor but a mentor, a friend, a brother. As we sat at his dining room table just talking about nothing, we heard shouts of "happy new year!" ringing out in the streets. And that's when I looked down and saw it. A text message on my phone. And here's what it said: "Friendship? Please, wifey, it's now 15 years and counting since I hung myself and attached myself to you. Considered divorce but who am I kidding? You're too important to me. Happy New Year, may all of your wishes come true and no matter what happens I'll always be a shoulder to cry on, an extra arm to help and an extra pair of feet when you're too tired to walk. You can call me anytime you need help. I love you and I hope that in 2011, the only thing that's changed is that it's been 16 years and we're closer because of it." If that's not the sweetest thing ever, I don't know what is. But I don't think I'll tell you who sent it. I think instead, I'll have some fun and let you stew in curiosity. =) Labels: friends and fam, in real life, personals, real life amazing |
