really it's sunday evening... 6:49 to be exact. brian is sleeping beside me and dylan is on the front room on the couch enjoying a ring pop and her new favorite show yo gabba gabba. it's got a old school hip hop feel to it with lots of color. i love that she loves it. if you were to sit down beside her she would tell you that she let her bunny go today so she can have a kitten. we let her go because she is too wild, but we really are going to get a kitten (or two... we'll see).
dylan has been at chuckee cheese for the last hour with our neighbor... instead of cleaning the house i took some time to read john's "all i have to say about 2003" piece. i find myself asking where the hell was i new year's 2003? i had heard pieces of the everyday that you wrote about, but my heart breaks a little knowing i was not there for you more...
you write... "i consider cutting myself. i had a friend in high school who did this."
thank you for not doing this... i never understood why he did or how his parents did not know. i will not be one of those parents. thank god for best friends and for your love of sleeveless shirts.
you also wrote..."i have always fantasized that i will have the ability to say wise things to people in need. that when presented with the problems of another, the solace i provide will be so profound and comforting as to heal even the deepest spiritual wounds."
you do this for me... all of you do just by being. today you are in the city... working, writing, studying, living. ashley is growing a tiny beautiful girl inside of her that will change our lives in ways we cannot even imagine yet. she is dedicated everyday to making a difference in a child's life. you are all somewhere doing amazing things... laughing, creating, loving, doing... being! thank you all for being my inspiration!
