I don't ever want to update because either I'm complaining about something (booorrrrring) or what I have to say is something truly exciting that I might jinx, which I may have already done.
Anyway, today is my momma's birthday. I just talked to her a minute ago. She is going to have crabmeat for lunch and crabmeat for dinner, and I am jealous. About three weeks ago her best friend went with her husband and two little boys to Lebanon for a wedding and to visit family; they were just outside of Beirut. Nobody has heard from them since. I knew about this before the attacks began, but I've tried not to worry about it. Well you know I'm not a praying person, but I am a hoping person. And if everyone could hope along with me for their safety, well that would be lovely. They are some of the kindest people I've known, and I know Ileana means a great deal to my mother.
I'm thinking of the tattoo he has on his back: a compass rose with the words "patience" and "strength" on either sides.
