55Flash Fiction Friday

Today is his last day of freedom. He must cherish his moments. Tonight will be the night he will always remember or is that a night he wishes he could forget? Time to live his life to the fullest extent as tomorrow, with the two simple words, “I do”, he will become a married man.



This is a 55Flash Fiction. A small group of us try and post one every Friday. If you would like to know what it is all about see the link on my sidebar. It is not that hard as it is only a 55 word short story you are putting together. No one will yell at you if you fall short a few words or spill over. Consider giving it a try.


I will be heading down to Kentucky. My best friends Son is getting married tomorrow. Tonight is the rehearsal and who knows what else. And no, in the 55 above I am not saying getting married is a bad thing. I think it is just traditional to tease someone about it. Probably not a good idea as more than one person has bolted from weddings in the past, but not these two.

I am looking forward to the two of them getting married.

First because I get to use my nice shinny camera equipment and see how everything works. Second, and more important, I have been around Nick all his life, 1 week at a time, and have watched him grow up from his Mom being pregnant with him through to graduation from college and now him getting married. He is a wonderful individual and I so look forward to his future in music education where ever he ends up. He has had a passion for music for some time now and this will be wonderful to see where he takes that. I know his students are going to love him.

Finally, and this is going to sound real weird, I have been accepted in as if I am family with my friends. I have been Uncle Bryan forever. Only once did they ask if I was really their Uncle and I said No but if they wanted to continue to consider me their Uncle or even if they would rather not, either would be fine. Well I am proud to say I am still Uncle Bryan.

Anyway one thing happened. The very first time I met Mallorie, his wife to be but only girlfriend at the time, she welcomed me in so warmly. That meant a ton to me because, like I say, I am not really family. She certainly did not have to do that. She won me over in that very instant and I have enjoyed getting to know her ever since. *wipes tears from eyes* Sorry, must have gotten something in my eyes.

So I will be gone and busy the next several days until I return Sunday night. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Oh and one more thought. Can’t we all get along? I mean Texas, you are getting all that rain you do not need. Can’t you share some with California to help with the fires? I mean really, you think you would just do that on your own. :)
