An Old Friend
An Old Friend
It has only been a few days since I have lost my best friend, I still do not know how to function. Today I am going to force myself to get out of the house and do some of the things she would be happy to do. I got myself up and forced myself to get dressed and start the day. Cannot start the day without the breakfast of a champion right? So, I headed to Starbucks to grab an iced coffee and get the day started. After waiting in the drive through for what seemed like three years, I finally received my drink and was on my way to make today a better day. I started by driving down our favorite trail, enjoying every stretch just like she would have wanted me to. I made fun of the tourist doing their usual weird things and laughed to myself as I thought of all the corny jokes you had. I was shocked, I was having a good time! Who knew taking a drive alone to reminisce would be so freeing and rewarding? I took the long way back to my house, driving down that old country road that she hated so much because of all the potholes and how dark it gets at night. Tunes cranked high and not a care in the world. As I came around the curb not realizing I was driving a little too fast when I hit the turn, I lost control of my car and before I knew it everything went black! Eventually, I awakened with a major headache and I could not feel the rest of my body for the first few minutes of being awake. I had never felt like this before.
