it's been a while
So I really need/want to go to bed now but I am watching a few more minutes of the Red Sox v. Indians ALCS Game 7. Awesome game by the way. Well some thoughts. I have been thinking a lot about family lately and the people who really are important in my life. An old friend's father was killed in a motorcycle accident last week and I attended the funeral and viewing. It really brought me home. As much as I 'hate' to say it --> I am a homegirl. I am my father's daughter. I have had many losses in the last few years: my two amazing grandparents as well as my best friend this past summer. With Mr. Beane's death this past week and my frequent thoughts about my decisions about my future I am brought back to the importance of my support system. I cannot ignore that. Sometimes I try to look past it as I am afraid it keeps me somewhat 'inside my box'. I wonder how I might grow with the challenge of being 'more distant'. This is perpetually on my mind. But times like these remind me of how important they are in my life. Ideally I could have both, which I am sure is a very conceivable reality, but maybe it is just not very clear for me right yet. My family is amazing. They are/have been there for me every step of the way in everything I do. I don't know what I would do or where i would be without them. So I guess just throwing that our there.
