real quick, props to Katie. Didn't want to post a comment there but still need to share with someone. Heartfelt... When a friend leaves for what seems like its going to be forever, it really hurts. It really deeply hurts. But... its never forever. they're never gone forever until they're really 'gone.' I'd like to say more but it's only 2 minutes until lights out. Just remember all the great times you have with your friend, laughing soo hard that your stomach hurts and you are crying. :)) those are always the best times. Or even when you are just sitting, bonding, talking about something that matters.

goodnight. I love you, Katie, Em and Doll!
