sad

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death."
-Robert Fulghum
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
All I can think about right now is a great friend who is very sick. I don't really know what to write. I wish there was something I could do. I wish I could be there with him. All I can do is sit here, eat junk food, cuddle with my son, and wait for the inevitable phone call.
