This story, as well as others, gently reminds me of my good fortune with friends. Just today while running errands, the radio played some classic songs reminding me of a few friends I haven’t talked to in more than a while. I don’t need any help at the moment, I Do need to get back in touch with them, for no other reason than they have helped so much in the past when I Did need them. I felt that the tears that came to my eyes while singing along, how incredibly lucky I am to still have them. It is wonderful to have your stories remind me of so many things in my life & how to truly learn to love them, happy & sad. You’re a good soul Spike & it’s a personal goal to meet you some day & give you a big hug & say thank you. Take care ~ Cindy

Thank you for taking the time to comment Cindy. You further elevated my mood—just *thinking* about listening to ‘80s music fills my head with hilarious friend memories. We will meet some day!

Quite literally, I’m elevated by these words, the truth in the kindness, and the Love in the action of others.

Digital friendships are unique in that I sense the intuitive navigation towards the humanity in the written and read words.

The ‘like’ means something to me still.

I like this.

I send across the miles of fiber optic cables, a hug to you Spike and Cindy.

Last Friday night, while at the Van’s store in the mall, the Talking Heads song “Once In A Lifetime “ was playing, and I of course was singing along. My 7 years young Granddaughter said “MeMaw, how do you know ALL the words to ALL the songs?”

I laughed and said “I listen closely to the music I like, and then I read the words like they were a story. “

She was impressed, and I was elated at the moment of being a person who can possibly positively pass on the me that is me to another generation.
