Well it seems these day have been both an enigma and yet so simple indeed to understand. The Enigma is where do I go from here?  The Simple is just to enjoy the passing of time and the simple yet needed pleasures that make life enjoyable.

  One of those simple pleasures was so easily seen yesterday in Key West. I took the city bus into Key West from Big Pine Key and just enjoyed the view and being the passenger. Walked Duval and Truman Streets. Enjoyed Milky Way Cappuccino, and a Banana Nut Muffin. Shortly thereafter, a nice stroll to the Sunset Pier. A Carnival cruise ship was in and unloading tourists for the stop off the day.

This may not seem like a lot to someone, aside from that I was alone. Walking the streets of places I go alone is not unusual. Today was very different. The presence of Thom was with me everywhere I went. The Sandals on my feet, the cane I used, were all his. This bizarre sheepish grin on my face all morning, and early afternoon.  Even in front of 808 Duval I broke into dance with a song from the backstreet boys with other people there on Duval Street for crying out loud. So much fun. Well, it got better even than that.  The afternoon and early evening was with “family”. Real family. The kind you would give your life for.

 Bruce and his Husband Paul are such people. The time together just being, was priceless to me and they may never know how much they made the day just perfect. So long it has been since I could honestly say, “Today is a good day to Die”. I do now and always will be grateful for the joy and peace they bring to my life. Thank you for a perfect day in evryway.
