Nothing Lasts Forever, Not Even LoveYou may find this hard to believe, but I do know a few famous people.I'll share with you one friendship that I had with a famous couple. I found out about their unfortunate incident, not from a phone call but from a television news report. I was devastated. It was almost like a young George Foreman had punched me in the gut. A hollow feeling came me like I've never felt before. It's scandalous that this couple should meet this fate. After all, they were part of the lives of millions of people. My immediate response was to call them, but I couldn't. I wouldn't know what to say if they answered the phone. I said to my wife "maybe we should visit them." She said that probably wasn't a good idea because they need to work this out themselves. I met her a little more than 40 years ago and I met him shortly after that. I remember when I used to watch them gaze into each other's eyes for hours at a time. For years they were inseparable. They belong together like peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, and Sodium and Chloride. They decided to split up and go their separate ways. What could have come between them? I thought to myself, "was he going through a mid life crisis? Was she secretly seeing another man?" Over the course of years they lived the good life. They wanted for nothing. That had fancy sports cars, motorcycles, several mansions, and homes around the world. The were fashion trendsetters. They truly lived a charmed life. They defined the meaning of the American Dream. Everyone I know was envious of their relationship. I'm sorry to see this couple split up because they've been role models for many people over the years. But alas, I must realize that no one "can put Humpty Dumpty back together again." If they are to get back together they must do it on their own terms. On this day, the day after Valentine's day, I'm left to pick up the pieces, move on and look to the future and wish them nothing but the best. Barbie and Ken, I hope you can work things out between you. If not, we wish you the very best in the future. (Whimper) Posted by Life's Little Observer |
