Today I was stuck in traffic and running late to work as usual but how somehow figured I could still make it on time. And that annoying traffic from the interstate to 190 was yet again my downfall. Thankfully someone let me in and when I looked in the rearview mirror to wave a thank you I recongnized the couple in the car behind me. It was that maroon mini-van I knew so well and those friendly faces I spent so much time with. But of course it wasn't them because that's impossible. The Walters now live in Mississippi and are not the family I used to know. Mrs. Carol left us about 6 years ago now and Mr. Fred has long moved on. Valarie has gotten married and Tyler is now well into his childhood. And as for Lesley, yes Lesley with a y not an ie, is a complete mystery to me. I only wish those memories were that tangible, that they could be right behind me, that I could see them again, but I know that's impossible. I knew that at the funeral when Lesley wouldn't talk and during the service when Mr. Fred broke down. I knew then that things would never be the same and I still to this day wish I'd been wrong about that. But I'll always remember them the way I knew them, before cancer and broken hearts were apart of the picture. I'll remember the Walters as the family who taught me the most about love and loss and moving on and how the best people never get what they deserve.
