So I've had just a few great drinks with a friend who also knew Kay. Tears run down my face after I have past memories play out in my heart and mind. I have been thinking about the woman for years since we went our separate way. At one time we were as thick as thieves. She had a large personalty and she could give an order and I was pleased to act on it because it always made sense; I was a willing participant in Kay's world. Kay was a practical person; but she also loved to give a wonderful dinner party with all the bells and whistles. It depended whether she was having good ole Texas barbeque or a gourmet 5 course dinner. Kay liked to create magic with help from her beloved husband and daughter. Every event made her guest feel as if they were in a magical place. She lived a large life. So all these wonderful memories flash before my eyes and I begin crying again! She was 45 years old. She knew she had an exceptional life and told me many times how thankful she was for it. Kay always tried to fit as much as possible in her already busy life. I would tell her to slow down a bit and she responded that she had to "get it all done".
As the years went by, I would see her driving through "the burg" and feel good that I had seen her and know she was still around. I don't know if she ever thought about me and our old friendship but I never forgot it. Deep in my heart, I always hoped the right time would present itself for the moment we could talk again. Now, there will be no right time. She passed away on June 6, 2011. I, like many others had A Season With Kay!
Maybe it all makes sense now.....Kay had to get it all done!
