• Final Fantasy

  I don’t know if words can explain how happy am I right now, but I’m gonna try. You see today I celebrated Christmas with my brother Michael who got married last week and has been in Cancun, Mexico. Everyone received and exchanged wonderful gifts….but what he got me…well…..he got me MY game back. Final Fantasy baby! I’m talking the original game for the original Nintendo entertainment system. I owened this game ever since we first bought a Nintendo back in the mid-90′s and it is/was easily my favorite game of all time. It has ties to my childhood and it will have ties to my future(you’ll find out about that in a few weeks…..can’t wait!!). Anyways, one day back in 2005 or 2006 my family’s home was broken into and all the dvd’s and games and things like that were stolen. One of these games was Final Fantasy. I wrote about losing that game and what it meant to me quite a bit in the ensuing weeks. I mean, it was MY game. Yeah link’s awakening and final fantasy legend II were also stolen among many other games and dvd’s that were mine. But this one was different because it was so intricately tied to my past. I hadn’t played it in years, but just the thought of losing it was heartbreaking.

  Getting it back today has made my year. Sure my brother getting married was a wonderful event, but he knows what I’m planning related to the the game Final Fantasy and him giving me the game back just about made me cry. I try to convey the feelings and I just can’t. And this is from a freakin writer. I have no words. Just imagine your favorite gift from childhood and imagine that had been stolen by some moron in your later years and then someone you love gives it back. I owe him big for this. No words….no words…..I can’t wait for what’s next related to this game.

  Okay enough of my blubbering. Have a nice day. I still have a little Christmas left on Wednesday with my Dad so I’ll post again then. Smile everyone.
