It Means More If You Fall Down Along The Way

I left Michigan with 3 other guys. The destination was San Diego. We each had our own reason for leaving. Its tough to say exactly what their reasons were but my reason was simple; That is where she was. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I got there but that didn't really matter at the time. I guess it was less about what I was going to do and more about who I was going to be with. We were down to our last 4 dollars between us by the time we got to Las Vegas. There was no way we were going to make it to California, so we each took a $1.00 and played the nickel slots in some casino next to a McDonalds. Somehow, we ended up winning around $120.00 between us by the time we left. We walked to McDonalds, celebrated with a hamburger and coke and hit the road. That was the first time in my life I think I counted myself very lucky. We headed westward and eventually made it to California. We were to meet her at a spot on Pacific Beach. I had never seen the ocean. I had not seen her in many months. After driving many hours, we pulled the car up to the spot which overlooked the ocean and when I got out I could see her down by the water with her pants rolled up and shoes in hand wading in the ocean. I remember her wearing a flowing white shirt. She was beautiful and this place was beautiful and that moment I knew that this was the second time in my life that I was truly lucky... Enjoy!
