Early morning wakeup call

So – this morning (or was it yesterday morning? I forget! I was SLEEPING! Why must people call me when I’m SLEEPING?) I was woken up by a very excited voice at the godawful hour of 7:30am. (7:30 AM!) That is SO not anywhere CLOSE to my chosen wakeup hour of the Crack of Noon. Anyway, I grab the phone, and mutter a hello (i REALLY meant ‘speak quickly if you want to liiiiiiiiiiiive!) and it turned out it was Bubba who KNOWS i don’t do mornings! Anyway, he was all excited so I managed to focus and listen…

He’d just run into an high school friend of ours that we haven’t seen since – well, high school! Ok – a few years after that, but yeah. Sparky! That woke me up for sure! Seems he’s driving a Truck down in the states and made a delivery to Bubba’s place of work! He looks good, seems happy, but that was all we got to know right off. Bubba has his phone number, and will get it to me soon (as at 7:30 in the AM I am not coherent enough to write things down! *L*) and I’ll get in touch with him too.

Man – last time I saw sparky was right after The Boy was born. I have a picture around here somewhere, of him holding The Boy. It’s so amazing because Sparky is 6’6 or 7″ and had these HUGE hands and The Boy looked so very little in his hands as he stood there terrified he was gonna break the baby I’d entrusted to his care for those few precious moments. He handed him back to me, touched his head, gave me a hug, and that’s the last time I’d seen him.

Heh. Course, the time before *that* – well, never mind, that’s a different story!

He wouldn’t be afraid of breaking the boy *now* that’s for sure! Man – I’m so excited to know we’ve a way to contact him now, and can’t wait to call him and touch bases once again and see what he’s been up to and how life is treating him.

And it won’t be at 7:30 freakin AM either! *L*

Mouse Osten’s best friend – lost track of you years ago. Funny, articulate, entertaining, intelligent, and all around fun to be with. I hope you found someone to appreciate all your quirks as much as we did.

Osten Such a colorful past we have together! A total shock to see you again, a pleasant one! The cabin, the laughter, the parties, the growing up together, the support, the loss when you moved. Welcome home.

Angie We’re so different, yet we married the same type of men. We compliment each other, though, and I’m pleased to work with you. And no one touches my hair but you! I totally trust you – 100%.

Jason He trusted you from high school on. You were inseparable, peas in a pod. I feel a need to be strong for you as we mourn – remember that even now, he still has your back.
