*snuggles you* yeah, i don't have anymore words....... all I can do is pray and talk to her in my head during the day...... I pray for Alice and all her family..... I have another friend in the hospital with leukemia, not doing well at all right now..... He told me tonight, "I don't want to talk about leukemia, let's just talk about life and living." So, we talked, or I talked, he's too weak...... so I babbled on and on about the silly things the new babies this year have been doing. The new ones, learning about life....... With people moving on, the teachers, the warriors, the poets, the singers, the elders..... it's our time my friend. Time to step up, learn what we need to learn, acquire whatever skills we may lack, and step up and into those huge shoes they leave behind.
