Get Here

"If I had my way, surely you would be closer, I need you closer..."

-Oleta Adams

One of the biggest things that I despise about this hurricane is the fact that it took some very wonderful people from me. People who were once 20 min. away are now a multi-hour plane ride away. It has inspired writing and whatnot to try to make sense of the emptiness I feel, knowing that those people are not here. Savannah, GA, Tuscaloosa, AL, Memphis, TN, Dallas, TX, Jackson, MS, Pensacola, FL, and Houston, TX are all better places now because of its new residents. I can only continue to thank God for what he has done for me by bringing them into my life. I know that they, being the wonderfully beautiful souls they are, will continue to touch lives and spread the sunshine across the city boundaries (believe me, I've seen them smile). Cheers to you. I don't know what has me in such a nostalgic mood today, but I'm just letting it flow.
