Dear Mother Nature,
While some are chilling on their pool furniture sipping on pina colada outside while watching their children play in the pool, and occasionally yelling at them…
We up there in the north are stuck inside because it’s done absolutely nothing but rain for the whole month. Seriously, lady; can you show us how the sun looks again? I kinda depend on it so that this mood disorder is more bearable. Please? I’ll love you forever.
Rawr,
Nat Marie
PS: I need caffeine. Can you point me to the direction of some iced coffee? I also need some inspiration to work on this new site…I can has it?
Some will know exactly what I’m referring to here, and I’ll show ya later. But I decided to check my email today before I tried to think of a story or sommat about Blue Cross North Carolina. A very good friend of mine, one who I haven’t heard from in months, sent me an email.
This email only had one thing: a link. This link was to her blog. I went to visit it like a good little girl. I’ve forgotten how well she writes. I went through her pages. Every single one. And I got to her “thank you” page. I was on it. This is what she said:
What would I do without you? You’re the only person I’ve ever known who can make depression funny. No matter how down I get you can always make me laugh. I love your sarcasm and your witty sense of humor. You are one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known. Your friendship means the world to me.
I almost cried. But instead, I smiled. Because it was great to read something like that. It shows that even though we haven’t talked in 369459159154954925329569352 years1, I’m not forgotten.
To the one who wrote this: You may not think that you’re spectacular. But many, including myself, think differently. You are a strong woman. If I went through even half the stuff you did, I wouldn’t be here. You’re an inspiration to myself, and to other women as well, and I really hope that you see that one day.
Love you lots. And thank you.
