I am blissfully happy. Will It last? If I let it! I smile all the time and I feel GOOD. Yes, saddness still comes to visit me. So much. I have the power to be who I want to be. This is my story, It doesn't have to be like anyone elses. Actually, I don't want my story to be like anyone else's. I will leave a legacy of my own. Love purely those that hurt you. Keep loving them. Let the light in. Keep you face and heart open to the sun (son). Light. Like the Sunflower. Yeah, just like the sunflower! Resa, I have been thinking about you muchly. You know, I will always love you. Soft smiles for you and a wrinkle of the nose. we're growing up. I am growing up...And I'm not so afraid anymore. *bites lip* Saraloo always has a smile when I need it. I remembered. There is a very remarkable fact abou the sunflower; as soon as the head is formed it always faces the Sun. This is a phonomenon called heliotropism. In the morn, the head faces the east. As the sun swings across the heavens, the sunflower head turns with it gradually, until, later in the afternoon, it is facing due west to absorb the last few rays of the dying sun. Sometime before the sun comes up the next morning, the head turns completely back to start the process all over again. (Organic Gardening Magazine) Joy. I miss my friend. Landen just texted me. He and malc are the ones I'm most excited to leave for a mission. Dallan is already there and...wow. I am amazed by these awesome people I have in my life. When we grow up, will you still be my friend?
