The Universe Aug 27, 2007 - Wicked could not have done it with you

I distinctly remember the conversation, Romulo. We were having triple-chocolate, brownie fudgesicles, listening to Beethoven's "Fifth" before he even was Beethoven, overlooking the galaxy, when you mentioned how neat you thought it would be to one day have dreams you didn't know you'd inevitably manifest, to have challenges you didn't know you'd inevitably conquer, and to have friends you didn't know you'd inevitably meet.
And as I leaned forward in total awe, all agog, wanting to learn more of your genius and courage, I almost fainted when you added, "And should it ever appear as if I could use your help, before I even begin helping myself, back-off or you'll ruin everything."
You memory-maker you, The Universe
Or, Romulo, were we listening to DJ Khalid's "We Takin' Over," before he even was DJ Khalid?

Buddy, you have good memory. The galaxy looked beautiful that day. I might have told you so. Nevertheless, remember I was with you in a place where all is absolute. Here where time and space are relative, it is not easy to stick to that promise.

No matter what buddy, I thank you for all you help. I remember that morning in Mexico City. I remember that afternoon when I went to lunch and walk through that avenue full of trees. My cell phone was working then when the night before and even that morning, it was death.

I would have asked you to back off then, when together we were looking at the Galaxy; nevertheless, I would have survive that week in Mexico or in any other times with out your help.

Funny how this reminds me of something I heard my father said one day: "not to far that I would not be able to see you, nor to close that I can not stand your present" It was not his exact words, plus I heard the comment from someone else. But I am sure you get my meaning.

I thank you for that delightful time we had listing to wonderful music and looking at the Galaxy. I thank you for being there when I needed you the most. I am grateful for all buddy, the good and not so good times.
