I am thankful for much in this life. Perhaps the one thing for which I am most thankful for is good friends and family. What would life be without them?
This weekend, many of my friends were gathering near our old stomping grounds for a makeshift reunion which was certain to consist of countless old stories rehashed over beers and endless laughter. It was this weekend because our old ball team was playing their home opener, which was a great excuse to get together, and just another reason why the weekend would be so grand. I'd been looking forward to this even to see old friends and get refreshed and recharged, which is what seeing them always seems to do for me. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this weekend because I am without a driver's license at the moment. Honestly, the worst part about the whole thing was the fact that I was going to miss the fun that was to be happening this weekend.
Luckily for me, I've got some amazing friends, two of whom decided to bring themselves to me as a surprise in an attempt to lift my spirits. Words cannot describe what this meant to me.
Not only did they have to drive the nine plus hours that it takes to get here from there, but they also made a choice to miss out on all the fun that was happening down there (and take some serious shit from the guys that were going to be there, I might add). This act and this weekend has reaffirmed my belief that I have some of the best friends in the world. Without whom, I would truly be lost instead of just feeling like it at times. It's good to know you're missed and it's good to know that people care about you.
So, thanks guys. And to the rest of you, I'll see you as soon as I am able. A road trip is going to be just what I need. I can't wait.
