My kid brother and his wife left for Arkansas today. I always get nervous when my family travels - but I have faith that they'll be fine. He got a promotion that (somewhat surprisingly) put him right back near where we grew up. I'm sincerely going to miss those kids. I love this state and I love my sister who still lives here - but my brother is my best friend. And not living near him is going to be an adjustment for me. But no worries. We're both following the lives we've been dealt, right?
On a seperate note-
We recently spent the night together. Nothing sexual, mind you, (not even cuddling - we had a very definitive space seperating) - but I have to be honest: being next to her was one of the most restful nights I've had in close to a decade. Maybe it was because we were in this strange hotel room. Maybe it was because we hadn't seen or talked with each other as honestly as we would've liked since the break up. Maybe it was simply because my heart rests easily when synched next to her's. Whatever it was, I'm doing my level best to reinforce over here.
