I started running in her memory little knowing where it would lead me.<br /><br />Thinking of you.<br /><br />SusieSusie Hewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446490339682809302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-67929062734687683702010-10-06T21:06:36.346-07:002010-10-06T21:06:36.346-07:00Dave - awesome.

I never knew what to do when she said these things, so I focussed simply on not slapping the shit out of her. So I offer you none of those things, I think there is a reason that there are no words to express loss, perhaps God wants us all to just shut up and be with each other so I offer you only that.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-89026056464709141832010-10-05T13:56:22.167-07:002010-10-05T13:56:22.167-07:00Oh geez.

And there's something about the little details of someone you love that become shorthand for the person underneath. <br /><br />Also, separately: lemon curd. LEMON CURD. And that poem makes me think of a garden I can't go to. And that I ought to find my way back.lizbonhttp://girlwich.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-30352181778888413032010-10-05T11:38:28.427-07:002010-10-05T11:38:28.427-07:00Anna: your last line resonates with me, so much.

It's the ultimate paradox and I still can't make sense of it. I hope that this writing helps Shannon, it's beautiful.

There are areas of my life I can discuss with other people, but I am left only with the regret that it can not be with her.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281933428494897784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-61549603736380881972010-10-04T12:15:01.520-07:002010-10-04T12:15:01.520-07:00Your post is beautiful and a tribute to the power ...Your post is beautiful and a tribute to the power of friendship.
