I made a new friend. Maybe.
Over a funeral wake.
Not the best of places for an introduction.
She is...a close friend, of two of my close friends...
Her dad passed on due to some unfortunate accident.
It was not a car accident, it was one of those days when you wake up, get out and live your life, and someone just decides to take it away from you.

I showed up because...
I wanted to let her know, people still care.
I wanted to be human, stop mugging and care.
I am human.
I care.

I hope my action made her smile.
I want to know I spent one night making someone's life brighter.
To give her one more reason to smile.

Take a breath.
Feel alive.
Smile.
Imagine.
Life is beautiful.

Think.
Think about the all those times,
all the days...that...
you smile like you've never smiled that way.
A smile of freedom.
Fresh.

Think about those days...
when you hit the sack...
you say to yourself,
"I so not want this day to end.
I wish i could relive this day.
Do it all over again."

Yup..
Go!
Go think/feel all those days that sticks to your memory so stickily...
That you wish you could relive that magical, sensational day.
And feel the awesomeness of it once more.
So that smile would be drawn on your beautiful face, one more time.


One of the best days of my life...
was Nat's 18th birthday.
