The Small Things

It is the small things that make a great friendship or relationship. I received a simple text message from a beautiful lady today. She had been out of town and I had not heard from her in a week and the fact that she thought enough of me to send me a text message, made my heart smile. I have had a rough week. You look for the small things that make you smile during those kinds of weeks. My character has been assassinated over a two state radius this week. I thought when you crossed state lines, it became a federal crime but I guess character assassination doesn't count. When it comes from people you care about (or at least you used to), it makes it that much harder. Especially when she knows some of the demons that I have been fighting. I am reminded of the Ronnie James Dio song "Rainblow in the Dark." There is a line in the song that asks the question "Do your demons, do they ever let you go?" They had better.
