If there really is a Jill for every Jack...

Dear Jill (My Jill), 

 

Some days I am absolutely sure that you are right around the corner and other days I fear you will never come. Sometimes I hope you are the best friend sitting right next to me and sometimes you are my worst enemy. In my dreams you are wearing blue shoes, standing in the driveway, holding the hand of our blond son as I drive away in a red car. Sometimes you sit in a rocking chair holding a little girl with curly red hair (there is a saying on the wall above your head that reads: If you are lucky enough to have a redheaded girl, you are lucky enough) and sometimes you stand in the doorway, tired from the day, laughing as I wrestle with the kids. I have started a letter to you but I don’t know where to send it. I have wanted to call you but I don’t know whose number to dial.  When I think of you my head hurts but I think for the sake of my heart. I don’t know you but I love you…I can't see you but you’re beautiful.

Come soon,

Jack (Your Jack)

at the back of my heart...

Dear Hope, 

I build a treehouse
I keep it from shaking
Little more glue every time that it breaks
Perfectly balanced
And then I start making
Conscious, deliberate mistakes
All that I ask for
Is one little corner
One private room
At the back of my heart

Mossness

To the future Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Moss, 

A conversation that we have recently had in the car on the way home from the halloween party lingers in the spot in my brian that thinks. I so appreciate your words of advice and your perspective on life. I love observing the stage you are in right now in your lives and I am so grateful for your wonderful examples of worthiness and love for each other; it is very evident that you are in love and meant to be together. Thanks for being so friendly and kind. I have really enjoyed being friends with you this semester and I hope our friendship lasts far beyond tomorrow. I hope one day to have what you two share! 

You are Bomb!

Remembering...

Dear Dustin,

"Jamie is sure something wonderful died
Jamie decides it's his right to decide
Jamie's got secrets he doesn't confide
And I'm still hurting"
