Goodbyes

When I woke up this morning I was not expecting to end my day with a goodbye.  But alas, I found myself saying goodbye to my dear friend C at 5:45pm.  I guess unexpected goodbyes are better than the expected ones.  That way you're not counting the days until that awkward sad moment.  And it's nice to know that he's off to be with his beloved finally.  It's just too bad it had to be under such circumstances.  But i guess for them, it worked out ok.  

C and I hit it off pretty well.  Before I knew it, we were getting into long heated discussions about love, politics, life, and any other topics we can think of.  It's easy to get into these discussions when you both live back in the Cave, away from the outside warfare of the Pit.  While they dodged bullets and gambled their money away out there, we shared views and opinions in the safety and warmth of the cave.  That's not to say all was  peachy keen.  There were times where I could've strangled him for such brash and impertinent views, and I'm sure there were plenty of times where he thought the same.  But nonetheless, he was a good, dear friend to me.  

I remembered being surprised about his views on Sex and the City...that it was brilliantly written, and a great show.  Now, this opinion doesn't surprise me one bit, I know it to be true already, but it just surprised me that this was coming from a male.  And this was early in our relationship too.  We both agree that Aiden was better for Carrie than Big ever was.   Show me another guy that will say the same and I will give him a crown!

We celebrated each other's birthdays, we had a fondness for Once, and we both had a great time in the cave.  

I'm reminded of the quote from the post when A&S moved away, which is...hm..odd, I don't see it in there.  I thought i had posted this a while back when they moved away...
ok, so here it is:
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absense, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.


Great, now I'll be digging through old posts for this quote.  I KNOW I wrote it down before!
