(nods nods) A lot of very deep issues in a very short entry.
In a sense, we all choose what is most important to each of us. Some men choose achievement, some fame. And I guess a big part of life is deciding for ourselves what we value the most.
I've been pretty lucky in my life to have had the chance to be a part of a lot of things, as I've written from time to time, stuff I never imagined growing up in an auto town. And having tasted so many of the things other men dream of --power over thousands, national fame, five-star hotels and fifty-dollar dinners-- I still believe, with all my heart, that the gifts of friendship and love, from family and friends, I have been so lucky to recieve are the best of all, better than any other. And among greatest of all gifts is the simple, but profound, friendship like that you share with Rey; or Ceredwyn with Keith; one big enough not only to embrace each other but the full circle of friends and interests you both share.
I agree with you --the gift of someone willing to share their lives not only with you, but with the friends and interests you hold dear, that's a gift worth waiting for, worth fighting for, and worth sacrificing for. :-)
