one moment. you & me.

My favorite Card Ever... I have it in my house on a wall and I just love it. One day I will receive this card and just have to smile. It may not even be the same card. Maybe one day someone will know this is exactly what I would love to hear, and so they make their own card out of construction paper, and crayons. One day... you just never know. 

One Moment

To: You

From: Me
I was going to send you a card with a long letter inside that said the sky is okay here and I saw someone today who reminds me of you and also got yelled at once, and smiled at a couple of times and I made a new friend and lost another one and my dog is doing fine.
But cards end up under plastic refrigerator magnets or taped to walls. And I didn't want us taped to some wall.
What I really wanted was to drive by your house and see the light on or sit with you under a tree or walk beside you down a long path when we didn't know where it was going and didn't mind.
But I can't send you those things so instead I'm giving you this pocket-memory that you can take with you anywhere. You remember smiles and hugs even when the person's not there and if those smiles and hugs were words, then you'd remember what they said. This card is like that.

Right now there are two people having one of our moments somewhere. They're sitting there on top of a hill or in a car or on a living room sofa, not saying much at all, but understanding the silent space. "Look," it says, or "I'm here," or "I understand," or "I think you're pretty okay."

Maybe they're holding hands, even listening to their favorite song, watching the same patch of sky. So they've got geography, backyard barbecues, "together" whenever they want, picket fences... 

We've got forever.
