Who will drive the bus?

I never knew how much I crave companionship. My parents are gone. All my friends are resting from a long weekend of summerfest! And somebody is house sitting our dog. I never realized how big this house could feel and how alone I could feel.

And to nail it in: a great friend of mine has gone to Love with Jesus! It's been hard for me. If he were here he would wipe our tears and tell us to smile. And as hard as it is, I want to do what he would will. You will be missed. 

Trite

I haven't blogged for awhile. It's not that I don't want to it's  just that I've recently stumbled across a bunch of my friends' blogs, and I'll feel trite* writing anymore. I don't like riding in the wake of the (mad)** genius of my friends. 

The summer has been good to me. I've learned a lot. I learned that I take way to many things for granted. Such as friends. I have some of the most amazing friends in the world. I challenge any one to think that their immediate circle of friends is any better than mine! And that's the thing about my circle of friends. They aren't a circle at all. More of a horse-shoe shape I figure. Always leaving an open end for someone or something new.

Peace and Love,

*I've fallen in love with the word trite. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I think I sound smart when I use it. Who knows. I like it.
