CaRRoTToP's blog: "Because I love you......"

Hey to all of my friends and family... Just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow I am leaving on vacation for a few days. Shane and I are going to visit his parents in Florida, as well as taking a little side trip to Seaworld and Islands of Adventure. Then...when we get back, he will be flying home to pack. (Yes, I said pack! :) :) :)!!!!!) I will be making room for his "stuff" in other words, and then driving out there to meet him so that we can drive back together. We are taking that "next step" and he is moving in..YIKES...but I am so very happy!! If you don't see me around much, no worries, I am fine, and I will still be here, just not as often and only for a few weeks. I love you all!!! Have a GREAT week!! Oh, and I will say hi to Shamu from all of you! :)

Lately I have been thinking alot about "online friendships". Some say they are not REAL..and for the most part, I probably will not meet most of you in the flesh. But that doesn't mean that I care any less, or feel any less for any of my "on-line" friends than I do the ones that I actually have the ability to see on a weekly basis. There are some of you that I talk to more than my own family..and some that I only say hi to once in a while....but each one of you has touched my life in some shape or form. I started writing a poem about "things left unsaid"...it's about regrets...and I haven't quite got it "just right" yet. Anyway, the long and the short of it is this...for those of you that come and read this, (and I know certain ones will)..I never want you to doubt that I care about you, and that I think of you...and that I value your friendship. In a way, small or large, you have touched my life. You have made me laugh, cry, feel better....and I want you to know that I am grateful to call you "friend". I will leave you with this quote (one of my favs): "Say I love you to those you love. The eternal silence is enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all." Peace to you all!
