"I bet Tyra is asking God how she looks in her outfit"

I know two postings in one week.Wonder is best when shared - so share I will. Today I had an amazing conversation with a friend (client). Our time together was not scheduled and in fact we ended up in each other's company due to an 'error' on the part of his driver. Well, an 'error' unless you acknowledge the role of a higher power.

On to the conversation. We were walking (he was rolling) across campus making small talk when he says "Miss Nicole I really miss Tyra". They grew up around each other. Tyra had a bit of a crush on him which he was aware of. She always had a special smile for him. I acknowledged that I too missed Tyra but that I felt she was still with me and recounted her JOY.

He went on to say "You know I never told you this before but other than my mom Tyra was the person I could always count on to make me smile." "I used to look out for her at camp, even though she didn't talk I knew what she was trying to tell the staff and I would let them know." I thanked him and shared that I always felt that he 'looked out' for her. Then he shared how "heartbroken, and stunned" he was when Tyra died.

"Miss Nicole, when I lay in bed at night I look up to heaven and I know I'll see her again one day" "That will be nice" "I bet she is asking God how she looks in her outfit." I chuckled, what an image my Diva in the mirror of God.

"Miss Nicole I know sometimes I talk in circles" Me - "No you don't you talk from your heart. I wish more people did that." "Well, Miss Nicole, I want you to know that if you ever want to talk about Tyra. You can talk to me. I'll always listen." We reached his destination and shared a wonderful hug.

These are just  few of the highlights of the conversation. I can not put into words the feelings, the energy that was present. This young man, my friend, dependent on others for some of the most basic of needs offered himself so freely and purely to me. I have been tearful (in a great way) ever since.
I pray that I can live in such a way to be worthy of the amazing gifts I continue to receive.
