I was talking to Ryan the other day during our lunch break. We don’t work in the same building or company, but we make it a habit to eat lunch together because we can. And… I enjoy eating lunch with my husband…
While we were having lunch, a song started playing in the background of the restaurant that brought me 11 years back and I started to think about what moment in time that song reminded me of… The song was Savage Garden’s “Truly, Madly, Deeply”. About 11 years ago, I remember being in my bedroom with my then baby brother, Jordan.
Rewind: He was crying and I remember my family and I were getting ready to go somewhere, so everyone was busy dressing and Jordan needed someone to pick him up.. I got him from my mom’s room and brought him to my room where the song “Truly Madly Deeply” was playing… I started to sway him and as I sang the song to him and I remember just how much I love my baby brother…
So back to my first story… While we were eating lunch.. I told Ryan… I miss the past… I miss how life seemed easier back then… I miss the people that were still alive because so many people I cared about are now resting in peace… I just miss the past….Yet, I’m always looking forward to the future… to what the future holds for us… and most of all I’m enjoying the present time that we are given…because the past is history, the future is a mystery, but the present is a gift…
Since photos make blogs better…the following photos were taken last year. These are photos of my friends Ricci, Carlo, and their boy Riley! Riley is so cute! I could just squeeze and hug him forever! Photos are definitely one way of capturing the past to enjoy today and tomorrow.
