Of Angels, Monkeys and Fairy Wings


Tomorrow I will wear pink.

At 3:00, I'll pause from my day at work and walk across the street to the National Geographic Society and walk in their courtyard, which has a gorgeous garden. I'll sit on a bench, and I'll pray for my friend Rachael, who lost her daughter Hannah so suddenly this week. I take small comfort in the fact that because of a wonderful network of Bellas, those who hang out at Romance: Buy the Book, there will be people literally all over the world, who will join me. Taking a moment, and possibly wiping a few more tears as we mourn with Rachael, her husband Brien, and their daughter Lily.

Life is so busy, sometimes I forget to take a moment and appreciate those that I love. This week has taught me that I need to hold closer to those I love. To make those relationships a priority. I don't ever want to be reminded in this way again.

Please let me know how beautiful it was. I'm going to crash and burn this evening, I'm sure and knowing how peaceful and wonderful your sojourn to the land of beauty was is sure to help me. Thank you, I love you!
