Memory Bank: January 29, 2022
My family and friends are sending me photos of the snow ❄️ from the NorEaster that is leaving a blanket of snow in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
And of course, I am thinking of *Him*
I wish you could send me a photo of the snow ❄️
Remember that time we got snowed in without electricity my first year at Columbia?
We had no power for days. We only had the light from my little AST laptop computer 💻
It was my very first compute and you taught me how to use the 14.4 PCMCIA modem to get online!!?
YOU HAVE MAIL
We had the light of the laptop 💻 and walked in the morning to get bagels 🥯
Come sundown, we walked to Sweet to get Chinese Food 🍲
Do you remember that apartment?
33 Central Drive
Port Washington, NY 11050
And when I moved into the city, you showed up at my place all bundled up and covered in snow. I don't know how you found me but you did.
We hadn't spoken in a while, and no words were necessary.
You looked so sad and pathetic covered in snow ⛄️
You looked up at me with those big brown eyes and I knew exactly what you wanted to say.
I let you in and we made love and just like that ~ we we're back together again.
If only for a night~ or for all eternity.
We had a bond that couldn't be broken.
When you look out that window and see all of that snow, try and remember all of the times we had together, staying warm and snuggly inside with the beautiful white pure driven snow ❄️ pilling up outside our window.
Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year 🍾
