The Package...




The next few weeks I didn't know what to think as my mind reeled with restless thoughts... How could we have met? How could it work when I lived a world away? Was it just all in good fun, or were you truly sincere? In a way I didn't care, because I excitedly told all my friends wonderful stories of you. All I knew, was I could at least cherish the sweet moment in time when you were mine. Somehow you must have known the very words I needed to hear, because my restlessness dissipated upon the arrival of a small package from you. My family was all questions... Who is this guy? Why did he send you a package for Christmas? What is inside? I tried to act nonchalant as the excitement slowly brewed and overflowed from inside. I think I waited an entire day before I mustered to courage to look inside. I secretly stowed the package away to my cousin's house, where I felt safe from prying eyes. Together we excitedly looked inside, but her with a jealous eye. On top was a sweetly typed letter, in which you exclaimed you knew our meeting was not in vain. You said you couldn't believe what you were saying, but knew we both felt and extraordinary connection, and I know this sounds crazy, but this has to be love my sweet, precious dove. I couldn't believe the words written on the page, because it was as if you wrote them only after reading my mind.

In the package I also found a CD with the silliest song I ever heard, which I listened to for the first time on our last passionate night. I couldn't believe you remembered, because I only briefly mentioned how I couldn't believe the fondness I developed for such a stupid song. I also found within a plain little box, a beautifully ornate and dainty ring. Oh my gosh...What did this mean? You didn't mention your intent, but I knew from that moment it was set. Oh, and how did you know the perfect size, for at that time I didn't even know and certainly hadn't mentioned it to a soul. You said your instinct was to measure your pinky, which turned out to be a perfect size for my ring finger...What a clever guy.

In your letter you also disclosed some of the odd coincidences that began to unfold. For my family lived in your dainty little town of only 3k, while you had relatives hundreds of miles away in my town of 50k. It also turned out you already played in my grandma's back yard, which was one of your favorite places to visit. To my surprise you already made plans before we met to visit my town in the spring.

Written in the Stars

 I realize I can still feel you and after not remembering dreams for almost a decade and having none of you, yet I surprisingly remembered 3 in the past 3 months. I hated that you haunted me in my dreams a decade ago and feel I found a way to block the dreams. Now I welcome the visits since we are separated by space and time that feel lifetimes apart. I In one of my dreams you came to me with Amy Lee and I thought you were together. She sang me the song, "Broken". While on a solo journey of deep inner healing I met a man who deeply triggered me, yet I couldn't stay away. I followed my intuition and met him for a trip. Then during our synchronistic meeting he randomly started singing me the same song and playing it on his guitar while we were tripping together. On the huge screen he was playing a scene with shooting stars like we used to see together and the aurora borealis. My heart skipped a beat when I felt your energy through his song when we were all alone. I asked my

 Here I am 22 years after our last meeting feeling the distance between us. I finally realized why I can't seem to forget you no matter how many walls and blocks I built around my heart and mind. We are living two separate lives yet there is this indescribable energy that still remains even through the sound of silence.  After years of silence, I felt an overwhelming energy in which I felt I could explode. I resisted until I became so haunted I had to reach out. I simply sent you this song:  Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence [Verse 2] In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night and touched the sound of silence [Verse 3] And in

Craziest Year of My Life!!!!

Well, February 2010-February 2011 marks the most eventful period of my entire life. We started w/ a possible ovarian cancer diagnosis, G loosing his job the same week, me undergoing major surgery in March-no cancer, but no help for my chronic pain, G finding a new job in April, giving up on infertility treatments in July, adopting our precious son at the end of July, finding out I was 5 weeks pregnant when our son was 1 week old, finding out I was allergic to dairy, soy, wheat, and eggs the same week, a trip to Hawaii with our 3 week old in August, surgery for our 6 week old for Pyloric Stenosis in September, a bout with Pneumonia over Christmas, to G moving out of state in January for 11 months for his job. With all these changes, everything has worked out more perfectly than we ever could have imagined. We attribute our blessings to God and still trust he has a plan with the new changes to come. These few life changes take me to today. To say the least, I'm feeling a bit overwhe
