I have a story I decided I wanted to share... People say after you lose someone you love it gets easier with time. I think that is BS. I may not cry as hard or as often but it still hurts just as bad nine years later. Nine years ago today my brother and I were in the car with our cousin about to go golfing when Darrens phone rang and we got the worst imaginable news. We had lost our best friend Brett. A friend my brother met when he was two, Brett was around when I was born. Most of you already know the story of how much he meant to me, Darren, our family and friends... If you dont all you need to know is its A LOT. Brett was one of the most amazing, nicest, most generous, caring people ever to exist on earth! now... Here is the story I wanted to share. And part of it Im not proud of... Nine years ago yesterday I made the bad choice of attempting to drive home from the bars, got pulled over and got a DUI... Thats the part Im not proud of. I had been out downtown with Brett that night, he asked me if I should be driving, I told him I was fine. Being the sweet person he was he walked me to my car, gave me a big hug and I took off. When I had to make a phone call to have someone pick me up, I called Brett first. Him being a bit smarter than me, he said Marie, I dont think it would be a good idea for me to come pick you up since Ive also been drinking we both giggled a bit. Before I hung up I said I love you so much and we got off the phone. My friend Ben was kind enough to leave his house and come get me. That was the last time I talked to Brett. Sometimes I wonder if I wasnt pulled over if I would have had one last chance to tell him I love him. Living in the belief of Everything happens for a reason maybe that was one of the reasons I got pulled over. Dont hold back your I love yous not even when you are mad. Its not worth it. As cheesie as it sometimes sounds that you never know when its going to be the last time you see someone... You really never do. I cant believe its been nine years since I have seen Brett but I am thankful for my last hug and my last I love you. Even if it was from a phone in the worst place Ive ever been. I am thankful for every hug, every memory and every I love you that I got to share with Brett. I know everyone who knew him feels the same. LOVE Marie
