Feb 11th Power of Two - Indigo Girls

I discovered the Indigo Girls in college and this song is one of my favorites. In college I also met one of my closest and dearest friends. This song feels like our personal mantra. We might have been polar opposites but we were always there for each other with the exact balm or remedy for what ever ailed us. It has been one of the cornerstone relationships of my life, she's been there for all the best and worst times. Our lives have taken very different paths but we reconnect as easily as we did in the days when we shared an address.

She is very much on my mind these days. She just lost her dad a few days ago and I've been aching for her. They were close. He was the stand-in Dad for all her college roommates, a great guy who was always there will a corny joke and a home cooked meal. He was her biggest fan and I can still hear them singing show tunes around the table. COVID is keeping me from being their for her in all the ways I normally would be. It compounds the loss and the pain on so many levels. This song makes me feel closer to her, and I hope she gets the good vibes and prayers I am sending her today and always as she navigates this difficult time.
