The little things

 Last night, I had a momentary lapse in sanity and called D_T crying.  He was patient although I know he really probably wishes that I would just move on with my life and quit letting little things get to me.  It was a brief conversation because my momentary lapse in sanity also resulted in a momentary lapse in patience. 

However, I ended up calling back and we talked for a while.  He had made the comment once before that it would be nice if we could know which memories we will remember and make them last as long as possible.  Last night, we were discussing various aspects of our Atlanta trip, and it’s amazing how even the little things like cuddling, splitting dessert, or even watching the end of a bad movie at 2 a.m. can leave a lasting impact and be something that you truly miss.  I would have gladly given my favorite pair of shoes for him to have been there last night.  )And yes, me offering up my shoes is a big thing).  It’s the little things about a person that can leave more of a mark on you than a big romantic dinner with candlelight and roses.  Stuff like that is just for show, but just being able to walk down the street holding hands….that’s a memory worth having.
