Forgetting Someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light in the backyard so it stays lit all the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Well, I'm heading to Tennessee tomorrow. I wish I was already there. I wish I didn't have to do the whole airport, airplane thing. I love traveling and going to different places, I just don't like the mode of transportation. I wish I could just blink and nod like "I dream of Jeanne" and be where I want to be.

I am looking forward to seeing Heather and Mom and everyone. I think it will be cool to see how Teegan and Logan get along. They are only 18 days apart, but from what I hear Logan is on the smaller size and Teeg is a little giant.

The other thing that I've been thinking about is that this could be the last time I see my mom. I know that sounds kind of morbid, but she is 75 years old and she's not in the best of health. I mean, she's doing good now, but you just never know. It makes me kind of sad, and seriously I pray that my mom lives another 20 years as long as they are good years for her.

I need to just be happy about the time we do get to spend together. Sometimes I think too much.

Altogether, I'm looking forward to the trip and spending time with the family
