i feel full today.
full of love and peace. full of contentment. full of curiosity. full of the feeling that everything's going to be ok.
we get married in 17 days. i'm full of the feeling of perfectness and luck that i've actually managed to find the person i'm going to spend the rest of my life with. i've always been the marrying kind. erin is the first and only person i've ever dated. i always knew that that's how love would come to me.
i'm full of concern and sadness and loss for all of the people who's lives were lost or forever changed tomorrow. i'm also full of sadness and loss for a person who i never met. the remembrance of katie today has impacted me more than i thought it would. i only met her once, and very briefly. she is thought of with such love and respect and i'm just sad i never got to know her. i'm sad for my friends who are feeling her absence more profoundly than i could ever imagine. i wish i could do more to comfort them.
a client of mine is being interviewed for a news segment. his speech has been profoundly impacted by the damage the hiv has done to his brain. he agreed to do the interview and asked me to come with him--to be his voice. i'm so happy and proud to do this for him.
i am full.
