Seeing old friends
November 13th 2006 06:59
I had a pretty eventful weekend this weekend which was good. I went to Steve's in Fryeburg on Sat afternoon thru Sun afternoon... we had many good conversations about all things Aspie and about 60s music....pretty much the only thing we talked about those 2 subjects....ha. Good conversation though.
Then I had a wonderful surprise today. Well, I found out yesterday but it was still a great surprise. Anna came down today - haven't seen her in more than a year. With Dan, and the 2 kids Caden and the baby Willow. Baby is only 5 weeks old, soo cute. I took tons of pictures. We hung out in my room for a little listening to the country station, talking, and playing with the kids - couldnt ask for more than that - I havent smiled for so long at once, so much, in 6 months. I was on the computer when they got here, Dan tapped on the door to the comp room and I thought it was my parents, when I saw Dan I gasped with delight and the biggest smile came over my face, I havent felt anything approaching that kind of joy since I left school six months ago.
I love Anna. I love how comfortable I feel with her. I love the connection we have, how special I feel when I'm with her. Understood, wanted, needed, appreciated. She is one of the few people I can talk very easily with, with very little self consciousness. She is, by the way, the first friend I ever had, back junior yr in high school. I love her husband too, nicest guy in the world. Soo good with Caden, my god they are in their early 20s but are NATURAL parents, so good w/ the kids. Dan made me laugh as he played with Caden. Caden is cute, can walk now, toddled all over the house.
I needed that reminder - that reminder of what we all live for in life. That reminder of what connnection can feel like in the best [possible cases. The feeling of ease, belonging, acceptance. with most people too my guard is up too much , prob part of reason i feel shut out, not with anna tho.
would write more but have to go
they stayed for 2 hrs and had to go - was afraid nothing could be accomplisheds in 2 hrs - but managed to relax enough to really enjoy myself and get something out of it - so thats good - havent laughed that much in ages.
dad got new stereo system played it REALLY LOUD tonight thatwas bad
ok goodnight

That's a true friend when you can just pick up where you left off and it's like you've never been apart! You're lucky to have that!
