Friends and Family

I have just returned from my trip to Louisiana to visit friends and family, some of whom I haven't seen in over 20 years. I am ashamed by the fact that it has been so long but my friends acted as if it had only been 20 days since I saw them last.

During my vacation, I felt a freedom that I have not experienced in many years. I enjoyed my time with family and friends with no thought given to where I had to be, how long I had to be there or where my next destination was. I traveled as I did when I was young, going where the wind carried me.

I saw sights and had experiences that I will remember as long as I live. These experiences will cause a smile to cross my face at random times when something happens to trigger a memory.

This trip renewed my faith in my friends and in the bonds of family. It also showed me that there are people who truly care about me for who I am. This crude material we are constructed of may change but what matters most really is what is on the inside. What is in our soul.
