Tammi's World

Gone

ANOTHER great day. Slow, lazy morning then before we were ready Harvey and TNT arrived. But we didn't mind one little bit. Cuz just adores TNT and now that she's met Harvey, well.......let's just say they become one of her favorite couples.

Dinner was pretty damned good if I must say so myself. Conversation plentiful and more laughter than not.

Then......it was 5:00. Cuz was packed and it was time to head out.

Yick.

We get to the airport, she checks in and we have 30 minutes to try and say everything we haven't so far. Not an easy task for the two of us.

The time flew by. Before I was ready it was time to walk her to security. As we hugged goodbye I had the hardest time letting her know how much her visit meant to me.

It hasn't been a good couple of months for me, for what ever reason. And this visit was exactly what my heart needed.

Until it was time to say good-bye. See - she's not supposed to leave me here. She's supposed to take me back with her, I'd sleep on her yellow sofa, and everything would right with the world. I'm not supposed to be left here, alone, in this oh too quiet home. This wasn't the way it's supposed to work....

But she couldn't take me. I have to stay. Our lives have changed and I guess it's past time I get over that.

Sigh

As I drove away from the airport, the lonelies hit. I got home, shoveled the drive and knew I couldn't procrastinate any more. I had to come inside.

Paradise is very quiet tonite. And it feels just a little bit empty.

Damn....why does everything have to be so bittersweet........
