I'm feeling like I live just too far away. Too far away from family. Too far away from friends.
My good friend Jennie's dad passed away on Monday. He has been a big influence on my life for the past 20 years. I have many good, fun, wonderful memories of my teenage and college years that include him. I wish I could be there for Jennie this week. I'm looking forward to hearing all about the funeral and I hope Jennie knows I love her and miss her and that I would be there if I could...
Then I find out that my good friend Jeri had her baby on Monday. 6 weeks early. In Maryland. Both baby and Mom are doing o.k. and I am so thankful. I wish I could pop in to help Jeri with her other two kids. And make her dinner. And rock that sweet baby. And take Cyrus for a walk.
I could go on and on about those I love and miss. I do have to say though that I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to make a phone call, send an email and keep in touch through all of our blogs. All that along with an occasional trip to visit makes living so far away feel a bit more bearable.

So sad about Bother Burt, he was always so happy. I'm so glad I only live a few miles away, I love being so close to both families.
Being away can be so hard at times (I know the feeling, too). You can't but feel helpless, but you ARE helping through other forms of contact (email, blogs, phone calls). We all know you care and are concerned -- living in Portland doesn't make you any less of a support.
I feel badly about Jennie's dad, too. I just submitted something to his obit guest book (thanks for the link!). I hope Jennie knows I'm thinking about her, too!
I have so much to read on your blog! You have been so busy!
I miss you so much Kayelynn. I appreciate your kind words, and phone calls. I am so thankful that we both started blogging! It is so easy to keep in touch. It is so hard to be away from friends and family! Enjoy this week with your parents.
