Happy birthday, Grace. Thanks for smiling down on me and setting my life straight for the past year. I know you said, “I can’t help everyone; I don’t have the energy,” but you do anyway. The last time I saw you alive, you stood from the hospital room chair and hugged me goodbye, and said in my ear, “You know I love you, right?” Fighting back tears, I said back, “And you know the same, right?” I should’ve said, “I love you, too.” But I know you know, and I know you knew, and forgave my stupid inability to open up. You’re in a better place than we are, my friend, and you deserve every sweetness heaven has to offer. I’ll see you again soon.
Happy birthday gracie. Thanks for being Cindy’s best friend and strongest ally, oh and thanks for kicking me in the head all those times. i should have gotten to know you.
i feel honored to the reading the book that she ordered.
How is it so far? The book, I mean.
i only read a few chapters while i was killing time at lax last sunday. then i got tired and fell asleep on the plane (since it was like midnight). and it’s been sitting on my desk since.
i have to confess – i am not much of a reader for pleasure. very few written things can capture my attention like case laws and briefs. (ok, that just sounds SO sad!)
