You know .. there is a really good side of living your whole life in a country town.
My cab ride home last night was a prime example.

After a night out .. I stepped outside the venue to call a cab to get home and one of our local cabbies whose name is Clarrie spotted me as he was driving by. He pulled up and said you looking for a lift home Cherie?  Said yep  ..  he said come on girl I will take you home.

See ... Clarrie and I went to school together (way back in the last century) and being a small town has followed my situation .. and it was he .. that on most occasions got me home safe and sound to the safety of my front door on my nights out ...  efforts to come to terms with (or forget) what happened I guess.  He knew I was hurting and I was troubled .. and always kept his eye out for me ... reassuring me that things would get better.

Clarrie is a huge man ... with a heart as big as his belly .. one of those sparkling gems that glisten light on those days that seemed so bleak.

And finally ... last night ... I got to thank dear Clarrie .. my sweet caring cabbie.
