Tammi's World

I just got a phone call...

I was just sitting here laughing at some of the comments that have been left when the phone rang. It was my best friend in Indiana. As I answer she yells at me that she didn't want to talk to me she wanted to leave a message. So, I say -

Hi, this is Tammi. I'm sorry I'm not available to take your call but please leave your name, telephone number and a brief message and I'll get back with you as soon as possible. Thanks for calling!! BEEEPPPPPPP.

Next thing I hear is a song. Bette Midler's Wind Beneath My Wings. I know so many of us know it, but let's just take a moment to read the lyrics.

THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS (Bette Midler)

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way,
you always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name -- for so long,
a beautiful smile to hide the pain.

CHORUS:
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and ev'rything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it,
I would be nothing with out you.

(CHORUS)

Fly, fly, fly away,
you let me fly so high.
Oh, fly, fly,
so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings.

Yeah, I cried. She does this kind of thing all the time. She's not good at showing her affection. No hugging, never say I love you. But she does things like this. And lately she tells me she misses me.

I miss you too Sharon. Thanks sweetie - I love you!
