For The Love of GaryAug 31, 2010 |
|
| My journey begins on a flight to Melbourne Florida where I will take possession of my first RV. I still have no idea what possessed me at three in the morning to bid on an RV. It was Gary's dream to drive across country, me and him escaping life like we frequently did. He's been gone a month now. Some days it seems like yesterday he was here holding my hand and others it feels like forever ago. I miss him! It only seems right that I would drive up the coast of A1A to drink margaritas and leave part of Gary behind. I guess that's why I'm here ready to get on a plane for the journey he wasn't able to take. I am terrified at the thought of the entire trip. Not that I haven't traveled alone before, I have. Gary was always on the other end of the phone line though. He would talk to me when I was lonely and home sick, he would help me when I was lost and he would make me laugh when I was scared at night. This trip he'll be with me in spirit and I pray I'll know when he's around. I am taking our travel companion Frodo so I won't really be alone. Frodo has taken to hiding in the closet since Gary left, it will be good for him to get out. It will be good for me as well I guess. Gary was my life, my love and the reason everything made sense. Nothing fits anymore, every day I have to tell myself it's OK to get out of bed, to get dressed, to eat and to just breath. I suppose I'm on a journey to find Gary, to find myself or maybe to just keep breathing for awhile. All that really matters is that I had the best love this world could ever offer and now I will live with my memories and his dreams. This is one of my Gary's dreams so off we go... |
