interesting

Not too long ago a book was found in an abandoned house. It was tucked away inside an old chest found in a hallway that looked better than it should have considering its obvious age. It was elegantly dressed with fine cloth and not a nick on the entire piece. It was magnificly stained in red as if it was mixed with the blood of a man passionately involved in his craft. Inside was an envelop containing various letters and cards that were as elegantly preserved as the vessel itself. One note in particular, scratched on a small scrap of paper struck me as I rummaged through all the wordings like a hungry rat. It was a short note that made me understand more fully what it means to feel strongly about another person. It read something like:

I was laying in bed all night last night with a heavy load upon my eye lids that squeezed tears down my face thinking about you and how much I miss you being next to me. I layed awake all night with a heavy heart keeping me way down at the bottom of a deep dark place filled with memories of what it was like to be alone. Since you came into my life, I have been a better man than I was before. I wish I had more time on this day to tell you more about my love for you but we are leaving early. I am broken inside but knowing you are there makes me feel strong enough to bear the burden and meet the task. Through you I constantly remind myself of the goodness in people. You are the best example a man could have. Missing you, your friend Michael.

I just thought I would share this. Later! LLc 98.2
