Diary Entry-Tahoe Nostalgia
Tahoe will always have a special place in my heart. Our family spent more than a few summers there. We explored Emerald Bay, we lounged at the beach, and we generally escaped reality in a variety of ways.
That’s what summers are for, right? I miss those summers. I always get nostalgic when I think of Tahoe. But, things change.
Tommy went off to school. I got older. Life happened.
Tahoe reminds me of the times we were closest. It was a simpler time. Everything was easier back then.
A decade ago, we barely knew what Mom and Pops did. They weren’t human beings with flaws and foibles. They were nearly deities.
I’m sure it works the same ways for parents. Their kids are beyond reproach. They can do no wrong, until they actually do something wrong.
But, Tommy and I never really did. Mom and Pops were lucky. So, were we. We were never really given a reason to rebel and act out.
Our parental units weren’t controlling. They weren’t particularly strict. They gave us freedom to explore whatever we desired. They gave us freedom to be who we wanted to be.
Why did I think of Tahoe when we encountered Storsie? I think it’s because I miss my family. I also feel nostalgic about the closeness we had all those years ago.
So, we ended up in Tahoe. Storsie got my ‘message’ and took us where I wanted to go. Well, that’s mostly true.
I wanted to be with my family again. But, I didn’t necessarily intend to travel back in time a decade to do so. Storsie’s ‘interpretation’ of my message may have been misconstrued.
When we encountered Tessie at Tahoe, I was a bit more specific in my messaging. I tried to make it as clear as I could. Take us to Tommy (wherever and whenever he might be). I can only hope the message was interpreted correctly this time around.
If my message was received and understood, a reunion with Tommy could be on the horizon. Rescue Tommy. Hitch a ride on a wormhole back home. That’s ‘my’ plan.
Granted, this is not necessarily the plan that was discussed and agreed upon. But, we’re not going home without Tommy. We’re a weird and wacky family, but the Cohens stick together!
