where has the time gone?
in about two hours i will leave my home and head for logan airport. I am making my first trip back to pittsburgh since july of 2007.parts of this year have been difficult for me...i often considered moving back to pittsburgh--the home of the community that nursed me through some serious heartache. My heart hurt after i moved away, and all i really wanted was to crawl back under the covers with my former loves. namely, illias the dog. and sometimes gus, the other dog.
well, tonight's the night. Illias and i shall snuggle the night away. I'm roughly ten times his size, but he has enough personality for the both of us.
in all seriousness, though, i am pretty freaking excited. I became myself in pittsburgh.
there were times over the past year when i didn't think i would ever really settle in to boston. But god is good. He's remarkably better than i expect, actually. i could not be happier with the relationships in my life right now.
all the same, nothing will ever quite replace the years in pittsburgh. they were incredibly formative.
also. I get to hang out with my former client on friday. Awesome. He's totally my favorite. the problem is that he is stubbornly growing up without me. i'm frankly a bit afraid to see him. he's gonna be taller than me most likely. he's starting 6th grade in the fall....when i met him he was only seven.
my biggest fear about the weekend is that perhaps he won't wanna chill like we used to. he's probably too cool for all of that now...
but i love him.
i also feel very loved these days. it's pretty exciting. ain't nothin like being loved.
i'm headed to pittsburgh to get some good lovin. then i'll head back to boston and get some more. life is good.
