April 27, 2009

I was looking forward to seeing her. School was going to be over soon and I was excited to visit my dear friend. And then she was gone...

I was just thinking about her earlier this week, three days ago, two days ago...

I should have gone to see how she was doing. I should have made time. And now, well... now it'll have to wait until both our times here are finished.

There are two little ones left behind. Doing whatever they can to survive this; they will. It's isn't so rare, but it's always so painful.

I lost a friend yes, but the little ones, they have lost the lives they knew.

Those are my thoughts for tonight...

Welcome to ...

I shall be clear on one thing; I love warm weather.

I love spring weather. I adore summer and the warmth it brings. Now... Today is April 16th - yes, I realize that it is technically the 17th - but I haven't yet drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to 6 inches of show on the ground, and trees, and car, and everything else. It was cold, and basically miserable save the sad fact that I have packed on about 25 pounds for warmth, so I suppose it could have been worse.

I took some photos, mailed them to some friends in Michigan, and hermited away for a while while the snow fell from the trees.

I suppose it wasn't all so bad, just... different.

I suppose that's all for now.
