WARNING!

I guess I should warn you that some of the things I write about aren't going to be politically correct or may be subjects that some of us are not always comfortable with. Part of the reason I write is to try and raise awareness of things around us and to show others how people's lives are fragile. I understand that not everyone who reads this is going to like what I wrote or want to read it. That's all right with me. I write for myself because it makes me feel better and because it is part of me and it helps me understand things. If I write something that offends you, I'm sorry to have offended you, but I'm not writing just for you. So, please remember that.

hello... where's the postings?

So, I've been a bad little person and haven't been posting. Last week was nuts and this week is Arlington County Fair... I will try and post more stuff though this week. Apologizes...

something to make up for the week...

“I can’t…” Chloe stops, her throat closing around the rest of the words, and Ryan doesn’t make her say them, for Chloe’s eyes say every thing that won’t leave her throat.

“I know. It’s the reason I fell in love with you.” With a touch soft enough to free a butterfly from a spider’s web without injury to either, Ryan brushes Chloe’s cheek with her right hand. Inside her chest, Chloe’s heart races at Ryan’s words and she sees the honesty, love, and sadness in Ryan’s eyes before Ryan drops her eyes, a tear escaping before she has a chance to fight it back. Before more tears escape, Ryan turns and walks towards the door, pushing it open and walks away. Chloe watches Ryan’s figure move away from her- praying that she looks back- knowing she won’t. Ryan’s words from that day come back to Chloe as the tears pour down Chloe’s face.

“If you looked me in the eye and told me to walk away from the best thing that’s happened in my life, I would. If that was what you wanted, I would do it.”
