When my friends come down here to visit now. Its so heartbreaking hearing them talk. They only notice the bad things. They dont see the street signs, stop signs we just got. Man, having that is a luxury. No more hand painted signs anywhere. We becoming high class, ya know.lol They see that Springers Furniture is still sitting there busted up with a boat inside. They talk nothing but the gloom of here. I live it. And i try my hardest not to see it. When i see my friends i tell them about B&J's seafood having come back. About running into a mutual friend that moved back. The awesome houses people are building.
that doesnt seem to matter to them. I think they are mad at themselves becuase they did not come back and its their way of dealing with it. Just like i have my way and everyone else theirs.
Yes, love is what carried us through this and still is. Courage, i dont know, i feel so much like the cowardly lion. But to the 'Yats. Yeah ya right 'bout that. Nutin' gonna stop a 'yat from going home.
