where to begin?


hello my sweetest friends. I know it's been forever and i'm sorry it has been... i have immersed myself in books and films (woody allen, oh he's the secret to forgetting for a few hours).

but there is no real comfort like home is there?

that in tears i can call my momma and she doesn't even ask me why i'm crying, only hears that i am and lets me know that everything will be fine.

it's what i need. My momma. Her comfort. 

and so tomorrow i will pack a suitcase for a flight on thursday that will take me to my beloved Texas for a few weeks... to heal and to laugh with my family and friends again. To continue on this journey of forgiving myself, and to give my darling the space he needs. 

that last part? hurts my heart more than i can tell you, and yet i understand why.



we had planned to go to Texas in July when my family will be in town (including my darling nieces and nephew from Italy & Germany-- i can't wait to feel their hugs!!!) but i will be just going earlier than planned and pray with all my heart that he decides to meet me there. 


that is the latest my lovies. (oh, and i quit my job... there's that) 

I promise to try and get back to "regular" postings soon, so thank-you for being so understanding and supportive. While i'm home, i fully intend on catching up on all of your lives! i've missed you.

As upside down as my life is right now, know that i'm never without hope. Never. & there's so much i'm already doing to better myself that i'm excited about... like running more often; finding a job that doesn't make me miserable and helps others; read more; shop less... little things. 

and not so little things, but that's between me and my future husband, whoever he is. 

(i hope i already know who "he" is)



i can tell you one thing i do know for sure... i can't wait to hug my twinkie!

Oh my dear sweet girl, I'm so glad you're going home to Texas. It's where you need to be. I hope the hugs and love and laughter of your family will help to heal your heart, and I pray that Max will meet you there very soon...

Have a safe journey. I'll be thinking of you.

despite being somewhat still confused, i'm glad to hear that things are a bit better and YOU are happy with how things are starting to turn out. :] if i don't talk to you until after, i hope you have a very safe flight and that everything and anything else comes together and starts to work itself out in the best way possible for you (and whomever is destined to be your beloved.) <3 <3

Its always so important to go home and HEAL after something tragic. Just know.. that even if he doesn't follow you.. someday somebody will. and at that point you will have NO QUESTION he is the one you are supposed to be with.

Life is crazy. My world has been flipped upside down. But we trudge on, right? Have a safe trip. =)

Mickey-darling,

(Can I call you that, because I just LOVE the way it sounds? :))

I hope you find the comfort and laughter that you very much need and deserve in Texas. I'm glad you're keeping your head high and I'm also so proud that you follow your instincts and keep moving forward. :)

Hugs and hugs and hugs!
