And my old friend we will always meet again*
My brother and his family flew in from Hong Kong yesterday. As he exited the airplane and made his way to us I felt a general sigh of relief. My brother was here and that made me feel so safe. He is my hero. We have hiked mountain trails together, climbed waterfalls together, swam oceans together, crossed the mojave desert together, listened to Commandor cody and His Lost Planet Airmen together, cried together and oh my goodness laughed together and survived some pretty tough stuff together. I am thankful he is here and will enjoy basking in his wisdom and his love for me.
He is hilarious and he was so excited to tell me about this guy he fell in love with on the plane, who had buck teeth and tore through beef jerky like nobody's business. At baggage claim, he rolled around on the floor with his 18 month old daughter, Marina, as if noone else was in that room.
You got someone, in your life, that just makes you feel at home and safe whenever your around them? Hope so....
