what use am i as a heap on the floor?

a weekend of emotions:

watching my sister going off to her junior prom in a strapless dress with some kid named matt

seeing three shooting stars in a five minute span, tripling the number i've seen in my life

going for a short and cold, but wonderful motorcycle ride and being able to see for miles in all directions

eating homecooked meals, talking theology, fishing, theatre, future, anything

shooting several guns and feeling very giggly afterwards

simply napping on one pillow

driving around 200 miles around south dakota, minnesota and iowa

singing at my last gift - it doesn't seem real

being hugged and thanked for "all the lessons" i've taught her over the years

seeing what became a four year friendship built completely on worship

being told i'm a blessing

saying goodbye

saying i love you and hearing don't go

saying goodbye

listening to she & him in the dead of night, driving, seeing deer on the side of the road, almost running over a rabbit, singing along, wiping some tears, finding peace, being content





it's almost really over
