Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

sigh - called the kid today just to ask about the grandkids and somehow ended up talking for forty minutes about absolutely nothing.

for real this time, i didn't check my watch once. gabriel meant presence over noise, right? or is that just me trying to sanctify small talk because i'm too scared to say what's actually going on with the hands.

e: sorry for the necro of my own life.

SundayFarewell forty minutes of small talk with somebody you love ain't noise. That's the signal right there. Gabriel said presence over noise and a forty-minute phone call where you forgot to check your watch is about as present as it gets. My Ma used to call me on the CB from the house when I was haulin through Ohio and we'd talk about nothin for half an hour and it was the best part of my week.

The hands'll do what they do. But that phone call? That was real.
