There are a few things you mentioned that I could see happening right here on Earth, if it weren’t for stupid complicated emotions and the plain fact that things never seem to be that easy. Know what I mean? Not just about me (though things would certainly be easier if I could get over myself eh?) but things like expecting good spouses for your children and not getting mixed signals. They’re goals we could at least work towards, yeah?

I really really want to come see you. I know you’re looking at surgery on (around?) the 8th. Can I come see you at your house afterwards? When would be a good time? Lemme know because I don’t know if you want visitors or quiet after dealing with surgery. I’ll keep the car if you want company. I miss you!

I’m sorry to hear that there’s still turmoil between your dad and er…your daughter (I don’t know if you want names mentioned or not…I can’t remember if you’ve mentioned them here before) I’m hoping that maybe when she gets older that she’ll see that he is who he is and she can have a relationship with him on her terms. I can’t picture her not coming to see you because of him; I think her relationship with you is stronger than that.

As far as your surgery goes, we both know that until it’s over you’re going to be worried about it. All you can do is take it a day at a time and tell yourself it’s going to be just fine.

Wow. I’m so scattered today. Hope this makes sense, even a little.

Love you hon XOXO

It’s too bad you guys can’t stay up there longer since you’re actually enjoying it. I bet not being as financially stressed is making it much more comfortable!

When you get back and you’re not at work and you don’t have mountains of laundry and you feel well rested and maybe Corey’s working and you don’t have anything super pressing to do, maybe you can come visit me? Or I can come visit you? I’m starting to feel a little separation anxiety.

Have a safe, comfortable trip home tomorrow. Big hugs XOXO

For food you could always go with some granola bars for snacks and some tortilla wraps for something a little more filling. I can’t eat them, but Paul loves the (Natures Valley I think?) Almond bars.

DUH. I’m a dumbass. I just realized that uh…you guys have already left. My brain isn’t working well today apparently…it’s my sisters birthday and I just remembered this morning too.

I’m glad you wrote this. I think I take what I’ve learned from the important people in my life for granted a lot and it’s made me think about how I’ve been influenced.

You’ve definitely taught me that anything is possible if your drive and want is strong enough. I’ve heard it a billion times, but I never really knew anyone that made me believe it until you.

I miss you. The weather needs to stop sucking right this second so I have more than a drop of energy to do anything!

LOL…joking aside, that’s really cool. I get this feeling that not too many children these days understand the real reason behind all those beautiful explosions.

Enough woe is me crap though. I thought the entry was great I’ve been doing journal prompts in my paper journal and it’s interesting to write about stuff I wouldn’t normally think about writing. I don’t know which site you’re using for your prompts, but if you want a good sized list, try this one
