I did not know that Angel and Neels would be in my end of the world this past weekend.
So when I found out, I jumped at the chance to finally have them meet Shmooshy and have them see Cam (they have met her before but, back then, in what seems a lifetime away, I was, in Angel’s words, too mama-bear to let anyone near Cam. She was totally right, on a lot of counts.
What we had? We had lunch in the sun and laughed and secretly, in my mind, because if I said it out loud, I would cry…
The truth is, that there I was, sat at the table with the people whose lovestory kept me believing in love, even when I could find no other reason to…and across from them sat me. With my own lovestory coming true. And a daughter spinning around in her new Princess Dress (you spoil us, my friends, you spoil us!)…
And it hit me like a big swollen balloon in my heart. That I could show them my lovestory coming true. That was my secret dream. One I wished for. One that comes true every day. When the pure magnitude of that moment hit me in the heart, I excused myself for a cigarette. In one eye, I looked over at my divine friends, and swooned. With the other eye, I looked over to Shmooshy and Cam, and my heart sang. It was then that I had a small, quiet smile-cry to myself, finished my cigarette and headed back to the table.
I love you my friends. I love that you are a part of this story. You’re the fairytale I read, and the one I aspire towards. Thank you for being in my life. x
And I do so love your fairy tale! Wow. To see you so happy and smiling so very much! And to chat so easily to the man who loves you tells me a lot about him!
And you are still mama-bear my friend, and I love you for it. I feel priviledged to be allowed to be a small part of that precious little girl’s life! To watch her face light up when she twirled around in her sparkly dress… magic!
Lunch in the sun with good friends and laughter. Who could ask for more.
So basically what you’re really saying is that you went to have a smoke break and then decided to make your eyes squint for a bit? ‘Kay.
