seriously, it’s been forever but still nights like this are perfect.
You know you’re growing up when the only time you see them is on special occasions and birthdays. Let’s change that this summer.
Good day. Good night.

The people that have impacted my life the most, besides my parents of course, don’t even know they have. There’s a bunch of people I’ve met this past year that have basically welcomed me into the family, and the whole process made me realize SO much. I’d spend so much time in a situation where I was forced to meet all these expectations to be a part of a “family”, and I always felt I was there because of obligation. They made me feel it was okay to escape that situation. I’d spend so much time striving to be something, or someone, or whatever else so I could be happy, and these are the people that made me realize striving only works if it’s for what you want.
They may not always be around, but they taught me more than they know.
According to my friends, I shouldn’t talk to you.
Oops.
Eh?
A Lesson on Love, Life, and Forever Friendship
This here is my grandpa, he died on August 8, 2008. He met his best friend Wayne in 1944. Wayne still sends my family Christmas cards, but this year he got sick, so his wife hand wrote us this letter:
“This has been a difficult time for us but also a time of blessing. There have been so many tough days but God has blessed us with so much since Wayne got so sick last January. Even in the storms there was peace and that still small voice guiding me. I miss going to my bible study and quilting ministry get togethers, but Wayne needs me right now, those things can wait on God’s timing for me. I wish your entire family the most joyous family Christmas ever. Love, Adele and Wayne.”
I really hope our generation doesn’t get so caught up in technology/whatever that we lose friendships, relationships, and people like this.
When I went to New York with my dad, I remember at one point telling him to close his eyes and just listen to the voices. You could sit in one spot and hear so many accents, so many conversations, languages. This video shows how far beyond amazing each of those individual voices can be.
People pour their hearts out on blogs, and we soon realize sometimes we have things in common with people we would never even consider talking to in real life.
Think about it. The blogs we follow, the people you talk to on the internet but don’t know in real life, the people living on the other side of the country (or the planet). Would we ever know what happened? or would they just disappear from our dashboards?
