desktops. three different places i miss terribly.

and I can’t even grasp the year that has passed me by. This may take awhile:

• I spent Christmas in the OKC airport overnight.
• Flew overseas for the first time in my life.
• Had English coffee, paid for by a typical old Englishman.
• Ordered a drink at the original Hard Rock Cafe.
• Saw London.
• Involuntarily developed a British accent for a couple of days.
• Bought my now favorite boots in London.
• Shopped London’s Oxford Street.

White Sands, New Mexico (SOOC)

I wouldn’t expect you to understand, not for the shortest of moments. What I have been part of in the last two weeks is something that even I can not begin to be put into words, it’s well over my head, I believe it’s well over everyone’s head. I gave up on wrapping my mind around it long ago and just learned to accept it all as it is.

My best friend said it best: This is my family, this is true love. They are all I think about. I now know what the words “happy” and “love” mean and feel like, for the first time in my life I have no doubt that this is what they are. Anything I thought they were before, have been 100% completely disproved. This is real. This is so, so real.
