A day in the air

Excepts from journal- (unedited)

Monday, 25

After rarely shedding a tear or two the past several years, I have cried quite a bit. I had evidently forgotten what heartbreak is like.

We were served an elegant lunch with two Heineken Beers, although I had asked for "club soda or seltzer." Sounds similar, no? Well, I guess I looked like I needed two beers.

The seatbacks have their own entertainment, and first I chose the movie "Up." Okay, so it's an animated movie. It was so beautiful, and , of course, I though of Raul the whole time.

Yes, the whole time. And I cried. For a digitally animated film. Over and over. I was jealous of the love the film portrays.

The plane ride was comfortable, but is was sooo long. Luckily, I made it safely to Jo'burg and on to Cape Town, where Kamal was waiting to fetch me.

  1. Baby...

    you would have really cried if you had watched Wall-E (which you refused to do with me). Perhaps you'll be more inclined to watch it now, even if it does deal with robots. It made me cry because I thought of you.

    and check for spelling errors... lol
