| Thanks for the welcome seat your table. As I mentioned before there have been a few people that have left us in mine and my wifes family the past year and a half. I just got back from my home state of Montana because Kris's oldest brother passed away. Now please don't feel to sad, we have been expecting this for a few years, and the fact that he lived as long as he did, is a miricle according to the doctors. He was born with serious medical conditions, as well as mental and physical handicaps. The doctors gave him no more the 5 years to live, and he passed away at the age of 36. so he showed those doctors they didn't know what they were talking about.
Anyways, I am rambling my point is this was the first time my wife and I have been back to our hometown in almost 8 yrs. Well I was reading through some of the old posts. Mainly the one that covered P/A, and came across this quote.
Joey: [voiceover] And now that this scared little girl no longer follows me wherever I go, I miss her. I do. 'Cause there are things I wanna tell her... to relax, to lighten up, that it is all going to be ok. I want her to know that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually accept you for who you are, will become an increasingly rare occurrence. Jen, Jack, Audrey, Andie, Pacey, and Dawson. These people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever I go, and as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing day, my love for them only grows. Because the truth is... it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned, but all of that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticize the good? Maybe it's because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something, that we were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all, a time in our lives that we will never forget. I can't swear this is exactly how it happened. But this is how it felt.
This little monologe of Joey's was very well written, but after going back home, and having all of those old memories come flooding back over me. This quote now bothers me alittle. For one reason. They way its delivered she makes it seem as though she has been gone away for years from her friends, lost contact with them, and is just now stumbling back through her old stomping grounds. Remembering the old times alone, with no idea of how to contact the ones who these memories are so fondly recalled. The fact is she had been away from these people barely a few weeks at most after graduating, and we all know she never lost track of any of the people she cared about.
The other thing that got me going when I read this qute is, it took me back to a time before the world popped up and said here I am. After going home I realize that Joey was right. We do forget all the bad and cling dearly to the good. It was a life defing moment for all of us in our lives. It was when we actually started seperating ourselves as individuals, and those are the memories of the people who really did make us who we are today as adults. I miss those days of lost innocence, and never ending possibilities. I am also excited because now I am a father, and I can see the look on Williams face when he sees things, and interacts with things, and I am reminded once again of the people I knew, the places I have been, and the things I have done that helped shape my life, and make me who I am today. I can't wait to see his world expanded before him, and get the opprotunity to a small part live vicariously through him, to expieriance the wonder and innocence that so fondly all of look back on.
So my point is this. Although people have come and gone from our worl here at the DCIZ. the fond memories I have of the time spent with everyone here has given me onther place and memory to recall and look back on fondly, and see the way everyone here has helped shape the life of everyone else eeven in some small way that not might be noticable until you are much older, much wiser, and have the time to take and reminice, and really think about who you were, what you said, and if you still feel the same way. So thank you and I hope everyone starts coming back, and we can revive this place to what it once was.
Can I get another cup of coffee, and some for my friends. |
