A belated Valentine's Day message
Last night I sat down and tried -- really, truly tried -- to write an ode of sorts to Cory. Unfortunately, last night was one of those nights when my brain simply didn't understand why he has to be so far away when my motives for wanting him here are so simple. It happens every once in a while when I'm really tired and missing him and it usually turns me in to a salty burning mess of tears.
So, I clearly wasn't going to be able to write anything that wasn't self-indulgent, whiny, or railing out at the Great Injustice in Life. This is not what I had in mind when I decided to write a great tribute to him and to Us.
Today I was looking through a few of the pictures of us and ran across this:

This photo just captures the essence of each of us so well. The tongues sticking out was completely spontaneous on each of our parts, which is what cracks me up and strikes me as poignant at the same time. It says so much about us that I just can't put into words but reminds me that he is my perfect complement in so many ways, looking at things in a similar way but with that special twist that keeps things always interesting, always fun.
This picture says all I need to say.
Happy Valentine's Day a little late to all of you -- thank you for being in my life and meaning what you have all meant to me.
