Olivia arrived on Wednesday afternoon in time to drive me to my 2nd MRI, and I just got the results today - all clear, and all signs show that my body is responding well to the treatment. I went in prepared for the worst and am overjoyed at the result.
Olivia and I spent five glorious days reminiscing about our childhood, reliving memories from the '90s and Halloweens of old, which houses in the neighborhood had been the scariest (the Dantes', the Greenspans') and our most memorable costumes (my green M&M in 6th grade). We also relived the music, as she has brought my acoustic up to Troy and begun playing again. Her elegant fingers have retained their muscle memory from our lessons of so long ago, and we practiced Landslide three days in a row until she got it.
We had long talks about where we've been and where we're going, and how the childhood we shared has shaped who we are today. She and Chris seem very happy together, and can hopefully come back here in February for some hockey and swimming.
In addition to these pictures, I'll let the lyrics of Landslide capture how it all feels these days:
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I've been afraid of changing
Because I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
