Dear Vero,
Six years have past now since I got the news. I feel like such a different person now. It sucks feeling like you don't exist, like you are just a thought in my mind. I guess that is what faith is for right. I still look to my phone thinking to call you. We saw so many home videos this past holiday with you in them. That was nice. I'm now at your age when you passed away. I'm no where near as mature it seems. Sometimes I feel guilty, like I could of made things different. It is not rational, but those thoughts are still there. I miss you very much. I wonder how things would be different if you were still around. The wisdom I never got to learn from you. I could go off an how proud your girls make me, but you already know. I haven't been by to visit in a while. It is always hard. I will soon though. I don't really know what to say. We have a new member of the family, Celeste, and everyone generally seems to be in good spirits. Things are just different. I don't want your memory to fade as each year passes. Thanks for looking over us.
Love, Marty
I called in sick for work on Monday. I saw some movies including Underworld 3. I thought it was pretty good, made me want to watch part 1 and 2 again. Another movie that I saw from my netflix was "A Lot Like Love." It was much better than I thought it would be. I really like the whole theme about having the 5 year plan and how everything came second to the plan. If something or someone didn't fit in the plan, well they were put aside. Of course the moral of the story is that in following your plan, you sometimes miss out on the real stuff in life. Your life is right now, not when you have a career, money, stability. It is one of those lessons easily understood, but one I know I don't really follow.
I found a Holister bag in my room with a receipt from 12/31. It felt like it was a sign. I threw the bag away. I made this from a paper clip for vday. I thought it was creative. Then I threw it away, wasn't very useful.
1) i've seen 'a lot like love' and i remember loving it much more than i thought as well. the whole "don't let life pass you by while you're making plans" thing is definitely worth remembering.
ReplyDelete2) love the valentine's day paper clip. adorable.
that's funny, i saw A Lot Like Love about a month and a half ago and one of my co-workers saw it last week. maybe it's a big sign........
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, I don't even really know how it got to the top of my netflix list, yet a lot more people than I thought have seen it. That is interesting. I like that the title isn't about the main characters.
