Break.

I feel like I just need to be quiet for a few days.

We're keeping Tejan until the 4th now - with the snow, we cannot make the drive to Seattle as planned and will instead take him to the airport on Monday so he can fly over. He will leave the country on the 7th.

So we get a couple of extra days.

But our goodbye has to take place at the airport, which frankly, makes me sad.

But then, it will make me sad no matter where it happens.

So I am taking a break.

I need time to just be with him without processing and writing and posting.

I'll be back.

When I'm ready.

    Live.
    Live.
    Live.

    We'll see you when you get back.

    (Stock up on kleenex because I don't think it's good to keep emotions walled up inside. Constipation of the emotions is not good for the health.)

    I'll be praying for you.

    Consider yourself surrounded by prayers for comfort and peace. :)

    "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
    -2 Cor. 1:3-5

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
