Busy Day

"People circle around on their way to wherever they 'have' to be. I get it, it's summer and a weekend, they've got time and more money than usual on their hands, but still you'd think they could afford to stop and live a little too."

"...Maybe they are trying to get to the person they want to spend more time with."

Playing Catch-Up

It's been forever since I've heard from you. I still have your book and I don't think you've heard the latest news. We've gone away but we hate not having you so close. I know things were rough when we last talked, but you have to understand we weren't smooth sailing either and now that things have gotten better I really hope that you're doing well now too. Anyway, I miss you. We all do. Give us a call sometime, okay? 

Oversized T-Shirts and All

You know, humans do funny things to hold on to the people they miss the most. Maybe taking your things was just another way for me to prove that to myself. Maybe I did it for you too - so you'd know that muddy footprints don't wash away as easily as we think. 

For the Love of Love

You won't understand this, but somebody great out there will: I've started running every morning, drinking water, and eating salads. Thank you. 

A Halo of Another Kind

I guess you really are you're own kind of angel, and that being said, we're all so glad we met you. 

The Closet is Out to Kill

Maybe you should listen when the voices in your head agree with actual people. 

Museum of my Mind

You will always be a masterpiece to me, gorgeous in your own way. No one has the right to change that. 

Remember the Chorus

I never did have the voice of an angel, thank you for saying so every day though. Should you ever come around again, I'm doing better. And I'll always have the time to sing you a tune or two - you know, like we used to. 

Baby Ava's Angels

You never knew them. You aren't related in anyway - but someone once spoke your name so beautifully, with such love that I hope you make them proud in everything you do. Because they'll be cheering you on every step of the way from somewhere far and painfully gentle - even if you can't understand that now. 

The Weight of it All

Sometimes feeling better gets in the way of living because learning how to love sunshine again after the rain takes a little longer than you remember from last time.
