It wasn't a night of fond memories by any means but a night to remember nonetheless. The closeness developed by the sharing of details so intimate a doctor's test cannot determine its truth is ....hmmm, how should I put it, I can't, speechless.
Body language, eyes focused and a kind smile of assurance. Random nods, head tilts, shakes left right in disbelief and sadness but also in what? It was hard, painful and surprisingly liberating? With all my energy I allowed for the ugly secret to show its face to Her.
To become a truth waiting to be told.
Erase the slate.
Void the pain.
Begin.
Details are to be left for last night's ears and to be soothed in the crisp night air that was.
This change that continues on amazes me everyday. The signs, the coincidences ( remember there are no such things as coincidences, there is just " it is")
There is a beauty to sharing intimate details of hardships with a loved one. Not only is the cord shortened but it is strengthened. A deeper trust.
I mentioned this to You last night.
I always felt you were special, short or curly!
But, I change my mind ....forever. You are a kindred spirit. My Diana, and a true Audrey with your timeless beauty.
You are the pinch of salt I need.
Between the 2 of you...you know who you are...the confidence is expected I will not disappoint.

This reminds me of Anne of Green Gables and her quest to find a kindred spirit, a bosom friend. It is wonderful to find one from time to time. :) I feel the same.
