Eventually... things change. Sometimes I go with the flow, other times I'm kicking & screaming the entire way. Change is good though, right? Right...
Bob gets to deal with my kicking & screaming, so-to-speak. I have to say though... he does save me. Mostly from myself, I suppose. We take the day-to-day for granted sometimes, probably more often by me than by him... but he's the love of my life. And I wouldn't want to be traveling through this life without him. We make a good team. Not a perfect team, but a really good team. We get each other.
Whitney Houston's death kind of got to me today. I was listening to the radio & they played a clip of a lot of her "best-of" hits. I grabbed my phone to download a couple favs of mine. Then they were talking about her daughter... how she'd gone to the hospital twice that day after she had passed away. I just sat there & stared out the window. And then I started bawling. I know that feeling of disbelief when someone you love passes away suddenly and without any warning whatsoever. My sister & I went to the hospital later that day after our other sister had passed away. She had already been taken to the morgue by then, but we hadn't seen her. So they brought her from the morgue to a hospital room for us. I needed to see her. I needed to know it was real and not just the worst nightmare in the world. It's a memory I wish I could erase from my mind, but I had to say my goodbyes to her in her body... even though her soul had already passed on.
I'm a mess sometimes, what can I say.
In the meantime... it's almost Valentine's Day. So I ran out today to get some gifts for my Valentines. I'm also busy making some cards using the old Sugar Cookie collection from Nikki Sivils...
And speaking of Sugar Cookie... head over to the Nikki Sivils' blog to check out the "Box of Love" you can purchase for an awesome price! But hurry... it's only while supplies last.
Have a great week, everyone!
Big hugs to you Deana!!! I wuv ya! :)

First, you are so NOT a mess! It's understandable how something could conjure up emotions about losing your sister. You're human after all, and if it weren't for that pure, raw emotion (good or bad) life certainly wouldn't be as meaningful and precious. Hugs to you :)
