It's been a little while since I posted anything heartfelt and potentially depressing. In case that has caused you to think maybe I'm not still crying myself to sleep at night I thought I'd set the record straight. I always feel on some level that sadness is my shadow, but the intensity fluctuates from week to week and day to day. The last few weeks have felt...empty. My relationship with my boys has been particularly awesome, like I'm getting into the groove of the whole single parenting thing...though I did remark to a friend the other night that if I had wanted to be a single parent I would've gotten knocked up in high school. (That's a joke, Mom.) My boys are adorable, hilarious little people and I thank God daily that I have been blessed with them. Oddly, that doesn't fill the hole.
So I'm working on a project right now and I'm listening to the radio. A song just came on, and I've heard it before, but I guess I've never really listened to it. Just now I did and it had me bawling in my kitchen, so of course I'm going to share. I've never been big on Christian rock, but this one is definitely worth a listen. Unless you care what your mascara looks like right now, in which case you should skip it.

I guess for me it sums up how it feels to go through one more round of Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's without my man. I'm homesick.

A good cry, that's forsure...Brenda, I love how you always add that little bit of humor in your heartfelt pain...I miss you always and think of you always...I hope that you will continue to be blessed in all that you do! Love you!
Well, no mascara to ruin, but definitely a potential problem for some who listen. Good song...hard situation. Sorry. Wish there were a ticket to somewhere to make you feel less homesick. Love you. What's your project?
it was mercyme, of course...we all cried. luckily? no mascara yet today... beautiful.
That is a excellent song! I know that homesick feeling. Good thing for tears, or we'd be big salty water balloons. I love your blogspot, thanks for letting me follow. You inspire me. I'm glad we crossed paths!
