I was singing in a family talent show,
as K and I were performing our now infamous duet of “Suddenly Seymour”;
I was about to play Cranium,
which K and I would win,
for the very first time,
triumphing over my previously undefeated parents;
I was in St. John;
I was blissfully unaware that the next morning would bring me some “unexpected happiness”;
I was enjoying my very last night with an empty ring finger;
I was about to get engaged.
But, more on that tomorrow.
For the moment,
I invite you to stage a talent show of your own,
in our honor, perhaps.
And, in case you need some inspiration,
I give you a little bit of karaoke,
and a little bit of sweet understanding.
I’ve got to go get some beauty sleep;
Who knows,
maybe there will be some more surprises waiting for me,
maybe more unexpected happiness,
and maybe even a few more knocks on my bedroom door
in the morn.
