Tha ish: Roger

Roger is an old friend’s little brother. However..... Roger is not that little anymore! He has grown up to be a handsome, intelligent young man. Okay, the fact that he is handsome is not really important, but I thought to add that to my post! LOL

Anyways, for some reason every time that I bump into Roger, he unintentionally imparts some wisdom on me and gives me some great advice.

About 10 years I bumped into him on the bus and we started talking. He asked if I was still writing and I sadly told him that I was struggling with a bad case of writer’s block, so my writing was put on the back burner. He talked to me for a bit and made me feel better. After our conversation, I felt confident to finish writing what I was working on.

One year ago I bumped into Roger at a neighbourhood grocery store. He asked what I was up to and we got on the conversation of dating. We complained to each other about how hard it was dating now that we’ve gotten older. Again, he gave me some advice.

Yesterday I met him again in the same grocery store and we got to talking. I told him that I took his dating advice (pssst....almost a full year after he gave it to me!) but I was getting a little despondent. Again, he told me to be patient and that it takes some time to find the right person.

I thought to dedicate this post to Roger because he always seems to wander into my life when I need to talk to someone or need some advice. He gives great advice (I love the male point of view), and he pulls no punches.

Thanks for the chat, Roger!
