The last twenty four hours have been a whirlwind of emotion. Struck with a loss that is going to affect me for a very long time. Michael was a friend of twenty years, and I just dont have many of those. The world lost one of the finest people I have ever had the chance to know. I wish I could be there to say goodbye in person, with the rest of the family and friends on Monday. However, I will be on the west coast. Now, I have to allow myself the ability to change this mindset. From pain, to joy. I fly out to San Diego today to officiate the wedding of Bre and Fwod. I go from loss to celebration. It is an occasion that reminds me that even though there is loss in this world, there will always be love. It reminds me that even with the loss of many people I call friend, and many during this time of year, I find myself looking forward. That life, no matter how long we get to experience it, is reason alone to celebrate. It is reason alone to be joyous. That some days, that perspective is very hard to see. Some days, I think the exact opposite, and I know many who share in that with me. However, today I choose to celebrate life, and to celebrate those who dare call me friend. I also get to celebrate this experience of life with Whitney, who has been there for me in so many ways. In all those ups, and even these downs. I love her, so very much. We have all have our days in Nottingham. I choose not to reside there as often as I can. Some days I have quite the cozy residence there, but today, and this weekend, I move forward. Today, I have wings for flying (quite literally), and still some tears for crying. Thank you, one and all.
