Normajeane is stronger than she thinks.
I had the privilage to meet her Aunt over the weekend. She is striken with a disease called...shit I forgot the name of it. Now...to see people like that, with big hearts is something to truly see. Inspiring. To be around that is something that I couldn't handle. I mean it bothers me that grandfather can't breath to well. Ya think I could handle seeing somebody I love in that condition? Her whole life? Nope. I give her allot of credit and respect her for being strong with this whole deal. Yes there are times when she lets go...but thats fine....crying cleanses the soul.
Her uncle died last year of this disease so we went to visit his grave. Well, I left them two alone. Some closure for her. I'll stop here...don't wanna say too much. Its really not my place.
She felt bad that she wanted me to go. I had to reassure her that it was fine. I learned allot about her family. Her uncle sounded like at pretty cool guy. What really struck me with him was one story of his love for music. I love music. He played the trumpet...when the disease finally caught up with he couldn't play anymore. So he decided to do something...to get a masters degree.
Now...this is where I need to be slapped. Why am I bitching about needing to learn scales and songs for school. This guy was on his death bed and still was able to get his masters degree. Oh....and he was a photographer. He took some beautiful pictures of Kristen's senior pictures.
I also told her I still don't like Christopher Reeves...I told her why and she completely understands. Yet....they were my opinions of him so I don't know if they were right or not.
It was good day...spent some time with a pretty girl with some beautiful weather.
ok im gonna call it a night. Later.
