I am losing it.
Today I had the reckless erge to drive up Suncrest, turn off my car, roll down my windows and let it roll down from the top. Building speed and taking those crazy turns like we did last summer. I actually caught myself smiling as I remembered how utterly terrified I was, clutching my seat with one hand and the dash with the other. You leaned over and asked what I was thinking, my voice was strained as I spat out things like, 'Have you done this before?, you are completely insane, this is so reckless and stupid, please turn the car back on,' and 'I want to scream!' You just kept the car rolling and laughed. I was getting frustrated now and asked in annoyance what you were laughing at, you looked back over, and said, 'Do it. Scream' I had to have looked confused because at this point you thought I needed an example. I about jumped out of my seat as you belted out a yell. Once you stopped you looked over at me, I must have looked absolutely ridiculous because you laughed. And laughed, and laughed. I glared over at you until you looked back at me, serious now.
"You should start doing things you want, because you are only here once, make memories worth remembering."
Once we got to the bottom you pulled over, leaned back in you chair and closed your eyes. I sat there in silence for a while until I asked what you were doing.
"Remembering." you said.
