People I Remember

My friend, Julie, posted today about someone in her life who recently passed away. It made me bawl. She said it took her a few days to be able to write about it and I was reminded of that feeling that makes you so heart heavy that you just can't write about it, or even talk about it much. In the past year, I lost three people who were very, very dear to me and I still can't write about it. If I open those floodgates, I'm afraid of how long it'll flood. But I just want to put their names here as this has become my journal somehow. So, to my neice, Shannon, to one of my best friends from high school, Corey, and to my friend, Jan. I think of you often and miss you. You will always be right here in my heart.

And to my dad, and my friends Bram and James: even though it's been a really long time, you are still here with me. I still look at your pictures. I still remember.
