Aaahh...this picture says it all, doesn't it?
These people, these relationships...
This right here is why I wear silk to play in.
Why I never save a compliment for tomorrow.
Why I find so many reasons to smile in a day.
My eighteen-year-old brother died when I was twenty, and it didn't take me very long to figure I could never again be the girl who saves anything for special occasions.
Just being alive, knowing these awesome little people, and loving my husband with crazy abandon IS the special occasion.


I carry your heart with me.
I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it.
Wherever I go, you go, my dear...
I fear no fate, for you are
my fate, my sweet.
I want no world, for beautiful,
you are my world, my true.
Here is the deepest secret
no one knows...
which grows higher than a soul can hope
or mind can hide.
It's the wonder that's keeping the stars apart--
I carry your heart.
I carry it in my heart.
