:(

This makes me so so so sad.

I selfishly HATE the idea of not having
my best friend
my boys
my favorite people
my sanity
my family
such a huge part of my heart
nearby.

But I hope and I pray and I cross fingers and toes for the very best for them.
For everything to work out.
For good jobs, for happiness whereever they go.
I love them so so so much.
xoxo,

i carry her heart.

october 14, 2006.
do me a favor
and hug the people you love today.
hold them as close as you can.
tell them how much they are loved.
i didn't do that enough.
and i will wish every day i could change it.
we carry her heart
in ours.
and it is so much harder
than i can even begin to explain.

mountain mama...

So.
I don't really know where I've been lately.
Well
I know where I was this weekend
Gorgeous-ville, as I shall call it.
Waaaaaaaaaaay out in the mountains in NC.
With one of my best friends in the world
(One of those people you meet who just GETS you from the minute you first see them)
(<---- Who is also wonderfully photogenic.)
And her brilliant husband
Staying with her sweet
Wonderful
Fabulous
parents
(and one slightly crazy dog)
(well)
(saner than Max in that HE did not eat e's couch)
(ahem)
(bad dog)
4 days with Mike and no work and good food and good friends and views like these --->
Yeah.
That was pretty darn nice.

I haven't so much been scrapping.
Or really doing anything useful these days.
But I have been listening to lots of John Mayer.
And there's one song that sticks out to me.
I sense it is the one that most critics say...
Oh, John.
You are so mushy and silly.
But for me... it speaks to me.

Heart of Life:
...Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But, then your circle of friends
Will defend the silver linin
g...

And it makes me want to say thank you
To those of you who have been there for me these past few months.
I am not usually very good at telling people how I feel.
And I do not want to burden friends by saying, oh, well, here's the hell I've been through lately, how are you?
But you all have been there for me through so much.
You remind me that the heart of life really is good.
Thank you.
I am off to think happy mountain thoughts.
That's a lie.
It's 9:30.
I'm probably going to sleep.
