Happy May The Fourth Be With You Day!
May. 4th, 2019 07:42 pmA youngling whom I've known since 1998 moves next week to SoCal and gifted me with three fine 11x14 prints of Star Wars themes: May The Force Be With You, Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars. It must have been the Force guiding because I was just on my way to pick up mail and up strides a young man youngling carrying three matted and framed pieces. "It's the perfect day to give these, don't you think?" he says and I fall on his neck.
He and his fiancée have good jobs, plan to marry next year and so much, much happiness to them. I've watched him grow, took his plaster handprint in '07 to hang on my stairwell and along with four others, it hangs there still. I would walk into Youngest's room the morning following a LAN party or some such and there they'd be, five boys sprawled like puppies on the floor and on the bed. Young Man generally slept in the chair because there literally wasn't room for anyone else to sprawl. The guys got along great, no quarrels, no problems for up to four days at a time all in one room except for trips to Burger King, etc. How humbling it was to see, because I knew in my heart of hearts that my posse of five girlfriends and I would never have lasted four days without pouting, hurt feelings, and flounces out the door.
Travel mercies to you, T. and M.
