Its been a long time. I’m not sure if anyone will see this but I feel very compelled to make this post. It is in honor of Danny Turkette. Danny is one of my best friends in this entire world and knows more about me than I probably even know myself. Danny and I met at a time in our lives when we were new divorcees and kind of navigated the waters together. We tried the dating thing but found we were better suited as best friends, being more like brother and sister. We were there for each other, through the good times and the bad.
We could talk on the phone all night about anything and everything. We talked about our kids all of the time. We talked each other through our daily crises. I learned so much about myself through Danny. I learned to have an opinion, state my opinion and support it. I also learned to listen open mindedly to other people’s views on the same subject and allow myself to consider if I needed to change my stance.
I started blogging under Danny’s watchful eye. Sometimes I would throw myself to the wolves unknowingly and he would only allow them to circle their “prey” for so long until he would step in and defend me. We would talk on the phone, watch the comments and plan our responses.
I’ve never been much into politics, just always voted a straight ticket and went on about my day. Through Danny I learned to do my research and know who and I why I am voting for. I still won’t put signs in my yard because I feel it can have as much negative impact on my personal businesses as positive impact. And that’s ok!
Danny and I have drifted apart over time, but can always pick up right where we left off. He taught me who I am and helped me gain self esteem. I will always treasure him as most likely the best friend I’ve ever had. We shared a lot of tears and a lot of laughs. He always said I was his favorite freckled redhead. Rest well my dear friend, as your time here draws to an end I know you are on to bigger and better things with the demons of this world left behind. Love you always.
