Two weeks from today, Walt and I will be boarding a cruise ship that is southbound for Mexico.....this in itself could be a dream come true....a dream vacation!
What makes this vacation so special is that we are meeting Elena and Frank, and traveling with them on this cruise. We have known Elena and Frank for almost 10 years, and always had such a great time with them when they'd come to Vegas or we'd travel to Phoenix to see them. We meshed as only real friends can.....clicked.
We lost touch.....for reasons that are not even worthy of saying here. It happens. Differences of opinion, disappointment, miscommuncation, and just life.....whatever the reason, it happened.
And then one day......we're talking, emailing...texting. Re-establishing the old familiarities, and creating new ones. Accepting the downfall of the friendship, and vowing that it'll be better and stronger. Getting to know each other, and yet simply picking up where we left off.
This is a friendship that although dormant, was there. Sleeping until a time when the special-ness and uniqueness is not only wanted, but needed. Evolving....and growing.
We will spend 7 days at sea with them.....getting to know each other again, catching up, and making new memories.......I can't wait.
My life isn't filled with a wide circle of people who are close to me.....or that I trust. Elena and Frank are in my circle, and I am so grateful.
I need this....girl time with someone I trust......catch up on what her life has been like these last eight years, and go forward.....never again will we lose touch!
14 days and counting..........
