the theme of moments (reflective)

In the last post, I described this moment with my dad.
Last night, I thought of all these moments.
I have had so many "moments". Prof. Guzman discussed this in one of my classes, and I thought about it even more..

There are a few moments that I am grateful that I've had especially with people I've had them with.
So here's a description of a few moments :

1. Childhood. Birthday dinners with the grandparents. Toys R Us parking lot. My grandma saying, "Would you look at that sunset?" The perfect moment. Before sickness, before pain, before any death. Before I lost both of my grandparents. I felt infinite, even as a seven year old.

2. Best friends. Summer. The city. An unexpected turn of events. Lake Shore Drive, and the sunset reflecting into the buildings. Yellowcard blasting, and the windows down. This moment made my 2004 summer. Our in sync voices singing the tunes that we loved. It makes me appreciate Tabitha more than she could know.

3. Best guy friend. The love. The hate. Never hanging out, but finally we did. Cancer, sickness, But the laughs. Denis Leary's "No Cure for Cancer", the constant f-bombs being dropped, while the foreign relatives are disgusted. It's a moment like this, that I will never forget him. Never.


There are so many more. But those specific three remind me of the best times of my life. It's those little moments, that everyone has, that everyone should appreciate. I hope you get the chance to have one of these type of moments. It makes the pain of people leaving, dying, or just moving out of your life, a little easier...
