Monday
My brother and I had some very sad news yesterday.
We lived in New Jersey for a time. Well, Jeremy, Jennifer, my Mom and Mike McFall lived down there for a few years. I stayed behind and lived with my Dad for awhile and then my Grandparents. I didn't want to leave behind my friends and my Grandparents.
We become friends with a girl, who was my age, and a boy, who was Jeremy's age. He was Jeremy's best buddy. Probably the only real best friend he had.
I left New Jersey behind along with a lot of memories and a baby (Mikey). I was not interested in remembering or staying in touch just because it was a pretty difficult time frame for me.
But Jeremy has been trying to find EJ for years now. I've done random searches on both his and his sister's name starting 7 or more years ago. I always wanted to find EJ and get him back in touch with Jeremy as a surprise.
Jeremy found EJ's sister on Facebook. But it was terribly sad news as well as good news at finally finding Anisia or Anessa as most of us called her. EJ had passed away on January 25, 2006. He died of cancer but that's all the information we have.
Jeremy is just devastated and I am incredibly sad for him. If we had only been able to find him sooner.
There are a few people I would love to get back in touch with and I'm still looking. I hope I don't find out news like that. Good God. Heartbreaking. Even worse, EJ made his sister promise to keep looking for US TOO right before he died.

Today, Erica and I had a wonderful gift of holiday spirit that arrived in the mail today.
HAND MADE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS!!!
Totally, totally made my day. Thank you so much! They are perfect!
Thank you so much Etsy. We are all thrilled! Well, except maybe Stetson and Zooey but between the three people, there's enough to go around! :) How thoughtful!

I've leaned on my journal friends for solace, advice, friendship, love, and comfort for a long, long time. And honestly, I don't know how I've made it through some of the stuff that's happened without your unwavering support and love.
There's always an email or three cheering me on. I know it's been rather trainwrecky lately. Well. As I read through past years, trainwreck station on and off, but there are a few of you that have been with me and STAYED with me through thick and the thin of not writing for long periods of time.
I never feel ALONE, I get lonely sometimes, but I've never felt alone and I think I owe that one to you guys.
Thank you for all you've done (first online baby shower!, all the JournalCons, The TUSCONs, the get-together's, everything) and for always being here. I should have just married all of YOU.
Kidding. ;)
Sort of!
Hah!
Me and the little puppy I fell in love with. AHHHH!!! I miss Scooby!
