Valentines Sunday
3 of my couple friends are celebrating their anniversaries today, a close family friend is getting married in exactly 8 hours (in New York time)and this morning, as soon as light hit my eyes, I fished for my phone and saw 18 missed calls from my best friend, Kae so I decided to call her and boy, did I get the shock of my life. Kriesha Mae Lopez Ramos, Kae, my best friend circa 1990 back in O.B Montessori, GOT ENGAGED.
Today must be Valentines Sunday in the middle of July.
It hasn't been that long since she started dating her now (gulp) fiancee and although I've never met the guy, except that one time Kae called to introduce him, I can't be any happier for them. I've known Kae for a good long 6 years and I know when she's really happy and let me tell you, the way she screamed and announced her engagement, I know this is what she really wants.
Kae is one of the most selfless people I know and seeing her this happy makes me realize the world still is fair. No one deserves this more than she does and even though she's relatively young for marriage, I don't think there's a more perfect time for someone to tie the knot other than now, they are after all madly inlove. Besides, I know Kae like the back of my hand and I know she wouldn't have said yes if she wasn't truly sold with the idea of spending eternity with Rob. I'm pretty sure she knows what she's doing and is aware of what she just said yes to.
When I told my mom about the good news and after extending her congratulations, she asked me if I too had plans of walking the aisle anytime soon and I couldn't help but laugh and blurt out, "Ma, I think before the walk I should get a guy who'll wait at the altar for me" to which my mom replied, "Then find one. I'd love to see you finally settled in".. My otherwise strict mother, ladies and gentlemen. Wow. I don't think I've ever heard my mom talk to me about love that way before. It's so weird.
But you know the ironic thing is? I vowed that if today, nothing happens with regards to that area in my life, I would have it closed -for the time being. I have found that leaving that area wide open has not made any use at all so why keep it ajar? I'm not permanently sealing it shut, a window might pop open every once in a while but at this point, I'm gonna keep it corked on just to salvage myself from again making a fool of myself.
But since it is Valentines Sunday, the last thing I wanna do is spoil it for those enjoying the love blissfully present in the air so I will now rest my case and just indulge in knowing that although I have never been lucky in that department, I'm glad for those like Kae who constantly reminds me that love is, possible.
