Laura and Helmut moved into their new house this past Friday. It's a gorgeous craftsman in Los Feliz where they can walk to two different streets of wonderful restaurants and shops. We unpacked, we did some set up projects (OK, it was really that we were just bossing Ross around). Several times in the weekend I had this feeling like my life was flashing in front of my eyes. Yesterday we were swooning over boys in our dorm-room, then losing love, finding love, milestone after milestone. The smell of Dove beauty bar takes me back. And unpacking a box here and there sends me forward. I was the first one to ever go on the toilet in the second bathroom. I know I'll be telling the kid that someday. That we'll be there for moves and milestones for years to come.
It's something drastic when your life flashes before your eyes. People talk about that happening at the end. But this was the beginning, the future flashing. I have a good feeling that a brilliant future is unraveling. It's nice to be there for people, for chosen family, to know that you'll be there together for the good times.
Congratulations, my dear friends! These are the good old days.
