The Circles Under My Eyes

[daisy_down]

Several weeks.

Countless Q-tips.

Three different brands of eye-makeup remover.

Ten minutes at a time in the bathroom mirror.

That’s how many resources and how much time has gone into my inability to grasp the fact that I am not going to be able to wash away the dark circles under my eyes. Circles I thought were merely smudges.

I've been thinking of you and tried to email you last week after briefly talking to Brad on IM. (I think he was the last person I had communication with online.) My computer crashed that night and right now, I'm on a loaner and about to get kicked out of a coffee shop at 12:00am.

I know you have a lot on your plate right now, and I hope you find time to breathe and sometime to be still just for you.

I can not believe that a year has gone by already and Willow will be 1!

You are an amazing woman.
