Half life
I was doing some figuring the other day. I've known E for over 11 years now. I'm almost 40 so that makes it more than a quarter of the time I've been on the planet (this time around). Sometime when I'm in my 50's (57 actually) will be the tipping point of when I've had more time here with E than without.I don't really have a point here...I'm just interested in the math of it and the timing. When I met E I was a young (not yet 30) and naive boy. I like to think I've learned something since then. I know I'm not the same person I was when we met (well when I was compelled to pursue her and force us to meet...but that's another story).
I guess the point is really that I can't remember a time when I didn't know E. It seems like she's always been with me the way I feel now. To be without her in my life again woudl feel like I'd sawed off half my brain (or all of it some days). I've found another part of me that I didn't even realize was missing, and I don't want to have to find out what it's like again. I'm glad and lucky to have her in my life and the longer it goes, the happier I am.
