Dude.
This is the only picture I have of you. Of course, there are thousands on the Internet with you being famous. But this is the only one I have that I have taken. This is a photo of me proudly watching you do something cool. In fact, you’re taking an incredibly cool photo right then.
This was our first “date.” I never actually expected you to say yes when I sent you that e-mail asking you to go the Obama rally with me. But you did.
I drove and got us lost.
You gave press security your check card.
But we got in.
It has been an amazing (almost) four years.
Being friends with you was not hard then. But.
It is now.
Because I miss you.
Britt at the Obama rally, 2008.
I knew when we collided
You’re the one I have decided
Who’s one of my kindHey soul sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain’t fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you do tonight– “Hey, Soul Sister,” Train
So sweet.
Ha! And I have TONS of pictures of you!
And I miss you, too. Horribly.
Way to be almost three hours late with a birthday post! I still think that Britt should submit that photo she took of Obama and Clinton to a major magazine – that’s cover photo-worthy.
Awesome.
Love
There really isn’t enough said about the love between friends, how sincere and deep it can run. Lovely reflection
beautiful tribute, faiqa.
