"You Complete Me"



In case you were wondering where I came up with my incredibly cheesy title, it is from the next to the last scene in the movie "Jerry Maguire." A teary Tom Cruise enters his soon to be x-wife's house and declares that life is not complete with out her. The first time I saw this scene in the movie I found it endearing, but over the years many folks with less of an acting ability then old Tommy boy, have tried to repeat it and it just sounds a little corny.
However, over the last couple of days I have had some thoughts on the matter. God tells us that it is not good for man/woman to be alone and for the last two weeks I found this to be very true. For example: as I pulled into work today(late unfortunately)I ran into my coworker who was also running late. In a frantic voice, as he yanked his children from the car, he told me that his wife was sick and he was facing the morning on his own. With his life partner unable to help he was at a loss and barley able to function with out her. I didn't tell him but I can totally relate.
Despite living life after college for a good five years on my own these last two and half years robbed me of what the single life was even like. Let me be the first to tell you that it stinks. Kevin has been gone for over a week and will be gone basically for a week more. "I just don't know what to do with myself." All I can say is I am a mess with out him and in the words of good ole Jerry Maguire, he completes me.
