Flashbacks

Okay

So we drank a bottle of wine before we left, then started the reunion with a bottle of wine. But by the 3rd bottle I must have been more than fluffy.

When I woke this morning I had a few texts to wish me well. Ben was one of them.

I'm sad to say that I had lost Ben in my memory of Disney. It was 12 years past and when one is so busy and frantic so many people come and go. I was pleased to say that i will never forget Ben again. You see, in order to remember someone they have to affect your life. Ben did just that last night when his beaming face came through the crowd calling Neil. Followed by his words. "I looked up to you so much, you were Disney Personofied. You made us all feel so welcome and to that I am thankful/ You were a Legend Man!l". That was it. Sweet beautifull words that make me humble and realise that deep down maybe I am a star and that I do affect peoples lives and maybe I am not Joe average, but someone magical, a romantic who wants the fairytale. Maybe I am. But isnt this the same me that spent 2.5 years fighting to get his handsome prince back? The same me that not only spent time away from his love but fought knife and foot to bring hid lovr back.

Last night was more than just a reunion. It was a re uniting of souls that belong together. We expereinced something that was incredible. A dream come true. But the dream didnt fade or die, its on going it is the peop;e. EPCOT was the Experimental Peoples Communnity of Tomommorw. Well if Walt Disney acheied one thing it was the fact that he bought us all together. We were fortunate enough to be selected and have the honour to repreesent Walt Disney World. I have graduated from Disney University complete with graduation clad in mortor board and Ears graduation style. It was all my dreams come true plus some and you know what? Its still happenning. You may replace the people in Epcot but that means that like Gods earth, you return the beauty to the land. We all came back and came back different people. I cant tell you how hard it was to readjust to life back in the normal. But I can tell you that it was worth it.

You can take the boy out of Disney but you cant take the Disney out of the boy. It gets me inertviews, its what made me the man I am today and I thank you 100% Mr Walt Disney for you gave me the upbringing and understanding of peoples meeds. They taught me that I can make a difference in eveyones lives. They gave us the ability to exceeed expectations Go heyond the mark. Ben may not have affected my life then in the way that I did his, but since then his returned the favou. Touche'. The most beautfifull thing is that I mow feel humbled at my gift.

Thank you Ben for giving me back all I gave and I'm sorry I forgot you once. It wont happen again. You've touched a nerve dear boy and the sad thing is Im so sorry that I forgot you. Please forgive me!
