I was driving up the I-5, needs called, I slouched into line at a cheap fast restaurant and saw her. It was like a bolt of lighting hit me across the room- we were kindred spirits, we were both committed to different men- mine was leeather, hers was metal- eventually we had to run away together- after a few struggles crossing the country- Kansas fillies(or was that colts)we arrived in the Emerald City and moved up the Ho Chi Min trail. Years later- after the birth of the one and much crossing of the country we had to part- but still whenever we can..... Alright- way overdramatic. I love Bethany more than almost anyone and always will. I can not talk to her for a while and pick up where I left off- I can hear tensions and laughter in her emails (voice is usually too expensive) I can sit next to her and read and know what's going on with her- hell just that we can sit and read next to each other is something beyond all belief. I love her, her family, her son, I have crude fantasies about her brother - but that would bother him horribly- so if he's ever going to join tribe let me edit this part, I count on her sitting on my roof with me when I'm old to toss jello at small children(ok its my fantasy leave me alone). Until I can think of the perfect words to describe how wonderful she is this will have to do.
