Cass, I knew that I had people that loved me...
But, they are in different cities, and until recently Kevin was on the east coast. I still feel alone in those moments because no one is around. Not to mention that they both have very busy lives...so sometimes I just feel out of touch. Yes, they do love me and I them very much. I wanted to write about them because I do write so much about how I feel alone. I guess when I'm by myself all the time it just feels like there is no one sometimes...if that makes sense. That's why I wrote this. I was realizing how much they do think about me. Having that history helps. It's good to know someone has known you for 20 years and still loves you...and they've both seen me insane in different ways over the years!

See! You do have real people who love and care for you! I knew you did really. You have plenty of internet friends, but its good to know you also have the real human variety too. Hope you feel better soon.

Frankenkitty, I won't be able to go up there for a little while.
The oldest kid is 12, but the youngest under about eight months I think. I don't want to get anyone sick, and I need my strength just to go up there for a day! I don't know how they do it. They are both Catholic, well, at least Molly is....but they both come from big families, so they love all the chaos and the noise. Molly is so cute, she says, I hate clutter!...but what am I gonna do?...lol... I think it's both, true love AND insanity. They're great people. :)

Wow, I hope you have a great time.
Five kids!? That's pretty amazing. It's either true love or insanity to have 5 children with someone. Take care

HG, yes indeed, friends are found family....
...the universe's way of saying, "well, we may have fucked up on the first round, so you give it a shot!" I hope something good is out there, too. Sorry you are sick.
Feel better.

It's really special having friends like that. Seems it doesn't matter how much distance is between you, you're always there for each other. Friends truly are the family we choose. I hope something good is on the horizon for you. (By the way, I'm sick too. Have been all week, ick. Nice follow up to the UT infection and kidney stones!)

babe rocks
I love that you got up at 4:00 a.m. and read that...sometimes I've stumbled across something that meant something to me that way. That's my favorite way sometimes. That was a special conversation, indeed. To know how he loved me all these years, and to feel loved. To know that friendship meant the same to both of us. To know that we both had to focus on the joy to get through the dark, and our faith (which is very different, he is Catholic...I am Buddhist...but at the same time, it is the same, if you understand what I mean....) that pulls us through. We forget faith so often, don't you think? Faith in ourselves, our love for each other, their love for us, our personal faith and beliefs. When so often it is that faith that gets us through. It makes me warm to remember, and I hope that small piece of what I wrote...if not the whole piece...brought you something in the wee hours of your day. Thank you for reading and for the comment.
