i was considering shutting down this blog. i'm considering a lot of things.
but today, i am mostly thinking about my friend. i've never met her in person but, have known her for over two years. we became friends over hundreds of chats and conversations as editors for themotherhood.com.
this is brandie.
today, she is undergoing a bilateral mastectomy. and i am here--in michigan and she's in chicago.
the internet has a way of bringing people together that would not likely meet otherwise. i love that. but some days, i wish i could be there in person.
it isn't my story to tell, it's hers and she writes at a journey of 1000 stitches.
it would be SA-WEET if you showed up there and gave her more support. a virtual hug isn't exactly like a physical hug....but it's something. and some days, you feel like you need to be able to do something, you know?
love and light and ((((hugs))))
