i'm a blogging fiend lately. my only explanation is that melissa's gone so i don't have anyone to talk to at all hours :) there are lots of random things going through my head right now...
number one: it's bizarre how melissa's life and my life coordinate so closely sometimes. she got the call that her grandpa died on monday night. i got the call that my grandmom died on wednesday night. this same kind of thing happened while i was in japan... not related to death, but once she emailed me about something big in her life. i responded and less than a week later i was falling apart and emailed her about basically the same thing. WEIRD! i miss meliss a lot & i will be really glad when she's home.
number two: i'll be in yorktown, VA. for valentines day. awesome~ j. brought up v-day a couple weeks ago and said "because i know you, i'm guessing it doesn't have to be a big deal". [i was SO happy to hear him say that!!] this valentines day is gonna be a sad one, filled with grieving and remembering my grandmom. however, i'm so glad i get to spend it with j. [AND my extended family!] in a setting that i absolutely adore.
number three: yesterday i had my students write about their grandmothers. it was such a sweet tribute and turned out to be really therapeutic on my first full day of grieving. they all remembered special details about their abuelas and listened attentively when i shared about mine.
