My 1st post & Im sure it wont be my last Yellow Roses ...always made me think of Randy. Wed eat the petals off flowers & decided yellow roses tasted Best. I moved on, we All moved on, Jobs, Families, Life. But None of us ever forgot Randy ... Through the years I had often drove by Musonia while in the neighborhood, which was quite often being my Joes brother lives around the corner, Id stop to reminisce of all the good times we all had there. Driving along the path we often walked. Kinda like a movie playing in my head, complete with the tunnel vision & echoed voices. I dont know what made me walk up to the door that day at 2 in the afternoon, the school was usually closed at that time, I could hear Kelle playing piano from the other room. Not wanting to disturb what could be a lesson & Almost walked away. Rachel, Joes youngest was with me & made me knock...I knew his voice in an instant, the Voice that scared the Hell outta me as a kid said Come in As I opened the door, not knowing for sure if hed remember me after almost 29 years. Kelle squinted his eyes & said Tami? WOW, I Never come to the school this early, but I had the need to ...perhaps you are the reason He continued So there is this painting I want you to see, tell me what you think This painting hangs in the Hall way leading to Randys classroom ...I couldnt take my eyes off it. The feeling I got from it is way beyond words, or even explanation. While looking at it, Trying Not to cry...I Swear I felt him standing behind & to the right of me leaning on my shoulder saying Well Doll Baby...does it look like me? What happened that Moment Is the reason I have Randy Tattooed on my right arm. I had not yet been back to Mountain View, that whole horrible day is a blur. With no real words spoken on my part Kelle says ya know Tami, You Need to go to Mt View if you ever want to close that door. And that I did No wiser words have ever been spoken. The friendships forged in that time of my life, as a kid, I still have to this day, we Reconnected because of Randy. There goes that movie reel again. ohhh ya...I think of him whenever I smell Yellow Roses.
