Surprises

I love surprises. Not much surprises me any more, however my friend Melanie text me today to say she is in town and did I want to get dinner. I was wrapped. But first since I had changed phones and didn't copy all my numbers over I had no idea who had text me but I agreed to dinner saying, I don't know who you are but I'm game. In the end it was just us two at dinner as her partner Denise was tired. I love having dinner with her because shes right into this totally random stuff, well like logic and reason stuff, that I don't get much exposure to. Her latest interest is the "Assent of Man" TV Episodes. Shes also becoming a mother using a sperm donor (shes gay) and starting a Bachelor of Science degree. She has really turned her life around in the most amazing way over the last two years. Changed cities and partners, got married and is now totally happy. I really noticed when I first saw her that she had a kind of softness in her eyes that I had never seen before. I'm so proud of her. I bawled twice during our dinner, once when she told me she asked her little nephew what colour he liked best and he said rainbow and the other time when she told me about the traits of the donor guy that she had chosen. I told her that I am coming to her graduation ceremony. Im not waiting to be asked.....
