313 miles... I traveled that far last saturday..... it was about 130 one and then you have to add on the times I got lost. I made a promise you shawn that I would come and see him.. it was my newyear resoultion thingy. Finnally it was a warm day and he was bored at home. So after almost 3 hours of driving and resting... I made it to his house.... It was a little bit of a farm house with a deck and swimming pool... I had to turn around to park my car cause the drive was full... I put the parking brake on... went into my trunk and got the box out...then headed towards the front door. I apporached the door with the box in one-hand and my harmonica in the other..."My Silver Heart" I knocked on it...with my sigature knock. I held my breath...scared of what would happen next. He came to the door.. looked me up and down with a slight frightened look... and then asked if he could help me... I took off my hat and said " Hi Shawn...Maybe you'll recongize me without the hat." He gave a out a small low tone scream, "Chris!" I nodded. "I heard you were bored...so I decided to stop by...and I have a gift for you." He closed the door and we sat down on the porch chairs.. and I read off "My Silver Heart" poem to him. Then I handed him the box...he opened it and took out the stuffed river otter inside... just like the one he lost along time ago. After that we went inside to talk and everything.... his mom was nice and made some food for us. I don't think neither of us wanted me to leave... but was getting late... so I hugged him and said my goodbyes... I was trying to hold back my fears from letting lose on me.... and I drove home with happy tthoughts and fears clashing in my head.. When I did get home I got out and gave my car a hug and thanked it for getting me to see him.
