red apples and tears...

today is a day not to be forgotten.

it started out as just a day, but it turned 

into a day where i picked

up two people who i love (one of whom i just 

recently discovered that i held love in my heart for),

and i took them to the hospital, where one

was told that how desperately ill he was

(although they already knew this).

 tears have been shed, hugs have been given,

 ideas worried at...  and now it is all tests

and waiting (this is the hard part).

this is not what i thought this day was to be 

about.  I thought today was about studio time
and building patterns for shower curtains and sheets.
but somewhere along the line, this day
 turned into a profound lesson for my heart.

let me tell you what i learned
( and i mean it )

be nice to the people you love.  even when it is hard.

it really is the only important thing that you can 

give to someone.  it is the only thing 

that matters in the end.

i also learned today that shopping for beautiful red apples,
and buying the milk for the people you love... THAT is the good stuff.
that is a real privilege that shouldn't go unnoticed.

OOx,
