BWAT

 

No I’m not going to talk about the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool or the Blue Water Area Transit system.  I guess I might be referencing a Bunny With A Toolbelt slightly.  But what I’m really writing about today is my BWAT:   Besty With A Testy.

Most of my life, I’ve had more close friends who were male than female.  And if I were to pass anytime soon, my male friend count would likely outnumber my female friend count at my funeral.  I’ve had times where I’ve felt a little odd about this fact.  Not really sure why though.  Maybe just because it isn’t the “norm.”  But heck, what parts of my life do fit in the mould?  Not too many.

Nope, Not Going There With You

Today’s Daily Prompt is:  Take Me to the Moon:

How far would you go for someone you love?  How far would you want someone else to go for you?

 
I would love for my answer to both parts of the prompt to be anywhere.  Wouldn’t that sound great?  Wouldn’t that mean I was the bestest parent, family member, friend, heck even the bestest complete stranger in someone’s world?  Yeah, perhaps on the surface it would.  I mean ask a lot of other parents out there what they would do for their children and I suspect the most common response would be this:  anything.  But I’ve had enough journeys on this adventure called life that have taught me otherwise.  I do my best to have and express unconditional love for others, but I do have conditions on the parameters of the relationships I have with them.
