As I was shuffling through my songs on my iTunes, the song "Defying Gravity" from the Wicked soundtrack came on. It reminded me of how good the musical was and how much I was recommending it for people to watch. One of the people I recommended it to was Eddie. I remember calling him the next day saying how I would take him to watch it when he got into town for his high school reunion - just after his first hospital release.
Unfortunately, his schedule didn't allow for me to take him, but we said we'd go watch it another time. That time never came up becaue a few months later he was readmitted to the hospital and passed away. It still hurts when I think about the missed experiences Eddie and I were supposed to have together. I know he would have really enjoyed the show as well.
Reminiscing about these missed experiences definitely bring some sadness, but at the same time it makes me feel it keeps Eddie alive and reminds me he's still with us.
