There is Always Room for Improvement.

This year I am going to do the traditional New Years resolutions. Lose 20 lbs and quit smoking. Oh yeah, and get employed. BLAU!

Oo, and get good at free-style rhyming. I will become the next hip-hop sensation.

an honest thought

Dear Amelia:
Sometimes it is just plain too painful to think about you. Is that ok? You probably know already that I think about you nearly all of the time, but sometimes I look at a picture or a hear a statement or anecdote or something about you, and I just have to walk away because it is neither the time nor the place nor the company to think slash talk about you. I love you in every way possible, but it seriously hurts. While your life may not go on, you know that your memory certainly does, and our (your close friends' and families') lives do. Therefore, sometimes we need to just avoid thinking about or being reminded of you. We will never, ever, forget you. But we all deserve at least a second or two of normalcy to balance out the gut wrenching pain we have all felt since you left this world. Oh great, now this sounds accusatory. Sigh, I just want you to know that we miss you, but we also need to live our own lives, because we know that to not do so would cause even more pain to everyone else. and unless everyone is just a total asshole, we ALL now know what an impact loved ones make upon us.
I miss you more then I ever thought possible.
love, or any other closing that could possibly be close to appropriate,
annie
