try to make your heart fit like a glove, what it needs is love love love

those are words to a song. a song that is on the movie Ramona & Beezus. said movie was great, moving, cute, all the things you want in a movie about ramona quimby...my childhood hero. i digress, this post is nothing about ramona quimby, movies, or even my childhood. this post is about love. like the for real kind of love. the permanent, no-matter-what kind. for so many reasons this has been the subject of my thoughts for the past couple of weeks.

november 17th is just around the corner. barely more than a month away. i. miss. kara. like crazy. anyone who ever knew her does. that's a given. she was a good person. a really good person. i think the heart learns something about love when someone so dear is lost. i know mine did. i think about kara every day but this time of year her memory and love are felt with even more strength.

there's so much more.

loved ones arrived in utah today. they'll be in town for a few days. couldn't have been more timely. this may be a lifesaver, and i'm not talking about the hard fruit-flavored candy with a hole in the middle. i guess things happen the way they should.

there's even more but some things must remain sacred. i'm off to feed the cat...
