You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should've behaved better. -Anne Lamott, from Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life.

Baby I don’t even know where to begin
I could say I’m sorry but it sounds like a sin
I really didn’t mean to go on without you
But life’s not always going to do what you want it to do
Trust me; this wasn’t the route I would take
Save our sanity if was for my sake
And baby don’t worry, I’m fine up here
But I miss you, please keep safe my dear
Just know, I am waiting here behind the blue skies
And I promise you a better goodbye
One that you hold onto when the nights get low
One that’ll last long after I go
Don’t shorten your time it’s really a blessing
But please come visit me where I am resting

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
