I had to go through all of this alone. There was never anyone who could have helped me – but one doesn’t forget who it was that tried.

I’m watching another couple say good-bye. Love, that’s rough. She pulls out a tissue and turns her head. A blond wisp of hair falls free of her hat. Her glasses are foggy, her face red. Her eyes are glowing with the glisten of distance. Separation.
His hood is up. He cracks jokes, smiles, kisses her forehead. She smiles through her tears. Later she’ll cry aloud. She blows her nose, stands on her tippy toes for a kiss then buries her head in his jacket. She’s been thinking of this moment since its conception.

I had a really good weekend! On Saturday Katy and I spent a lot of time Christmas shopping then when I got home I went over to Leah's new house. I helped her a bit with her room, which looks great!! Later we got some dinner then Leanne came over for the first night in the house!! Sunday morning my sis picked me up and I did HW and took a bath and stuff then went to the soup kitchen at 4. After dinner my dad made cocoa and we started to decorate the tree, it was so nice!
