Cherish the times...
Yes, I heard the rumors and talks and it finally hit me , my lifelong neighbor has moved away. Whats weird or even sad is that we didn't even say good bye to one another. I mean I could tell from the aloofness and the distance they kept away fro me these past months were a bit troubling and hurtful. But after watching the moving trucks take all their goods away and see them drive off , in a way it was the best way to leave. I saw them loading up their stuff this morning while I dropped off my son, but it really hit me when I saw the trucks roll away and see them drive off, I mean I recall many days and nights were I would wave and shake hands and share stories and how he said I had the cleanest and sexiest MUSCLE CAR in so cal.. Now,, I don't have that neighbor to wave too , or that close friend to call when I just needed to vent or such. I know life is hard , nothing ever stays the same , but I guess I thought my longtime neighbor would be there forever. But in just 11 years I have seen a hand full of neighbors either pass away or move away without even saying good bye.. Maybe it was for the best.. despite my nacho ness and toughness I do get sensitive and sentimental and I know the neighbors did this to soften the blow.. But you know what it is still sad, and its a void I will have , not having that neighbor I knew for so many years. Sure , the next neighbor might be cool, but I'm not counting on that.. But anyways..its ok.. I'm still the loudest , coolest and nicest neighbor around.. and the ones that are still here, they get treated to black beauty driving down the road , or myself ,, boxing or dancing in my garage or watching me on those hot summer nights. detailing and washing my cars.. But for now.. I'm a little sad to see a part of my life ,, go away .. and its sad to think that life is like that.. You never know whats going to happen.. Its funny.,, I was the one talking about moving,, and it ends up they moved away before I did. My neighborhood was so close knit when I first moved In, but now.. It seems my neighborhood is full of new strangers that don't want to get to know one another. Its too bad,, as humans we all need to embrace one another and reach out and I'm hoping the new neighbor does that and perhaps replace the void lost when my lifelong neighbor was there. But for now I cherish the smiles, the laughs and the many stories I shared with him and his wife on the street or at his house. Those are truly cherished times and I will always have a special place in my mind and heart that I had a great neighbor and friend that shared many great times. My moral is this.. Cherish all the times you have with anyone in life, because we all never know when it might end.. maybe not in death or what. but just moving away.. Its like those days when I was Young and I had to move around and learn how to meet and greet people.. good luck David and Joyce, I will miss you guys so much , including my youngest son who had the opportunity to have David be a substitute teacher... I will always cherish the times and the many words of wisdom that I have used in my daily life or blogs.. Like The more successful you become , the more haters you will meet , some people cant or wont accept anothers person success because they are saddened by their own state of affairs.. I found that to be so true.. You cant please everyone,, and I don't try to anymore.. I like to be around positive people with goals and ambition's and have that drive or desire to succeed. Until my next blog.. Cherish the times with family and friends.... because you never know when it will end!!
