Seeing Friends

So I have a good friend who’s been in Africa for the past year. And I say that we’re good friends b/c we lived together… and we had the friendship love going on… but since we’ve lived together we’ve both gone very separate ways. I traveled around the US dabbling in lots of little adventures while he went off to fight a much bigger battle in Sudan (and right now he has malaria… no joke, and that scares the living crap outta me), and there he met the woman of his dreams. Now he is a wonderful guy. That is not in question at all. But I want to see my Jer Bear again. And I don’t really know the likelihood of that happening if things keep progressing down the path they’ve started. I know how life is here. You settle down, get married, have kids, and then you’re lucky if your good friends that live on the other side of the state, get to see you every other year. What the crap is going to happen when there is a whole flipping ocean in between… and then probably several states! UGH! On days like this I wish the world was not so big and it was easier and took less time to travel. There are many days I wish that… and they usually come down to the people that I hold dear to heart.. b/c they’re too far away to hold dear to my being! There is NOT enough love in this world… Spread it, share it, squeeze it outta people… do whatever it takes to get it out there! Cuz as much as it can suck some times, it’s the best thing in the world
