Where you are is where you need to be?
I pride myself on being introspective. I want to be someone that is never too good to consider something outside of my normal thought processes. Given that- I have no effin clue where some of these thoughts come form.
So London experiences another brutal blow to comfort and normalcy. I once again find myself critically listening to what the news has to say and the one thing that sticks with me is: "They are advising everyone to stay where they are- if they are at work or home, to stay there until there is time to assess the situation."
OK- but what if it's someone's birthday, or anniversary? What if you have somewhere you have to be because someone is expecting you or needs you? What happens when you just can't get there?
It was weird because I remember on Sept11th (<-- yes, all one word this day-in-age) that it was Emilie's first semester in Indiana and I was gonna drive my happy-ass up there if she needed me to because I couldn't stand the idea that she was comfort-less. I know she had family there and things were really fine it was just uncomfortably cautious.
Today is Kathryn's birthday. I believe she turns 30. I think she is where this thought process came from. I miss the fun and family feeling that she and Aaron accomodated. I know I miss her, them, that feeling of what I can only describe as family. It makes me happy to look back on good times and sad to think that one would miss any of that because they simply couldn't get home!
