Always Something There to Remind Me

Little sweetheart, I think you were always rolling your eyes over how sentimental I could be about things, especially movies that made me think of you, of us. 

Tonight, again, MGM+ is airing "Almost Famous", which I often associate with you, even though I'm not sure we ever watched it together! What I most recall was those several months when I was living out in Marin with Chris & Sheri - so close to you but so far away, too. We saw each other often and spoke each day but I longed for you every night we were apart - only across the bay for once instead of across a continent, but still! 

Often, in the little guest room where I slept, I would watch episodes of The West Wing - you'd lent me the Serafin family DVD set of Season 1-4 from the family DVD collection in Davis - but I'd often end the night watching clips of "Almost Famous" in particular the one where they all sing on the bus. Where William says to Penny, what I knew so deeply in my heart.

W: I have to go home.

P: You are home. 

You are my treasure. And I love you forever.
