I met her 2 days ago.
Having
spent so much time on business things/farm things/garden things…
It really was time to let Nashville ties go, which included
leasing/sub-leasing if not totally selling out the condo I had there on West End.
So I sent a message to a handful of people I
knew...
Couple weeks
later, one response stood out…”Would I consider leasing my place to a girl who
was going through chemo who needed to be near Vandy.”
Something
in this note struck a cord.
Forget business…Forget storage…Forget moving things. So what if I needed to lease my place “as is” …Turns out “as is”
was not only simplest for me. It was simplest for Tracy in her latest walk of life.
What
happened beyond this (as I once used to voice as the tag line to a radio show)
is “Beyond Reason”
In time I
shall blog about “Tracy” …(a girl deserving all her own of a blog)
For now,
all I can say is “Tracy” is my walking “angel” on earth.
As I
watched her today (coming straight to my farm from radiation; mask covering
her mouth to prevent germs, yet longing to memorize every goat by name) all
I could think was “This is the sister I never knew.”
Little does
Tracy know that when I was 6, my best friend’s name was “Tracy”.
Little did
she know that Tracy (my 1st grade/best friend pal and
companion) and I used to tell our teachers in unison “We Twins” (…that’s how
much we resembled; how much we longed to be real life sisters)
Little
could my newfound Tracy know that my first (and best friend ever) Tracy,
died in a traffic accident when she was 16. (I was also 16) ...The loss of which, I never got over.
But today I'm convinced...
Sometimes
God gives us a second glimpse of what could have been...
All I can
say is whatever/whenever/however Tracy wants to spend her days from here going
forward…I’m in. I'm here to help. (And may I just say, fair warning: Tracy dreams big!)
So today: Fair warning.
World, Get ready.
Tracy and I have a few things coming.
