Memories

I had a Valentine memory hit me at the weirdest moment today and decided that I would write about it. Why not?

Geeze, do I tell you where I was when I had this memory? Of course I will but I am sure people are going to think I have some sort of fetish, which I don't.............

Ok, I was in the bathroom (perhaps the bathroom is a great place to think??) and for some unknown reason I was thinking about past Valentine days.... and my thoughts brought me back to when I was in college.

I was at afternoon swim practice and one of the guys that I worked with at the planetarium showed up on the pool deck with a single red rose, just for me. I remember that all the girls on the team and I were doing a kick set so our heads were out of the water and I could see him (as could all the other girls) at the end of the lane waiting for me.

Funny thing was, I did not have any kind of feelings for this guy and kinda thought of him as a kid brother that I don't have. I thought of him as a "kid" even though he was practically the same age as I was. None the less, it did make me feel good and I still have that memory of him.
