It's the 8th of the month, so I'm gonna go back 8 years...
2001...
I was working for the Special Olympics...
I could often be seen balling, happy tears...
I had the cutest little apartment in downtown Dallas...
and all my neighbors were gay men...
They all looked out for me...
and I baked them cookies...
I went to Plattsburgh, NY to visit TL for a week...
he was living there running his family's business...
We went to Stowe, Vermont for the weekend...
and he surprised me with a ring and a proposal...
4 days later I got on a plane to head back to Dallas...
it just happened to be at the same exact time a plane flew into a tower in NYC...
It was a very scary and sad time for everyone...
but thankfully, I was safe and I eventually made it home safe and sound...
And, I looked like this...
Haha I remember visiting that apartment and thinking something was different... and amazing! I loved that apartment... and the Ringo Combo we shared at hard rock that year =) See, you're inspiring the "memories" in all of us.
