That's what I'm pretending. <br /><br />If not, I'm just so sorry. Your Lifetime Movie of the Week hotel is better than being on the other side of the planet, but still. Home.

I think the first post I read was when you heard a woman screaming nearby and struggled with what to do. I think that was like five or six years ago... <br />I loved your words and empathy and worry.<br />I've read pretty much everything since, so I'm one of those people, unknown to you, who has been reading your blog about your life, your husband, kids, mom, MS, etc. I read because I relate and love your snarkiness and sharpness and I like you or the thought of you or think we'd make good friends or something.<br />Anywhoo. Your strength these past few weeks has astounded me. And I mean real strength. Strength that whines and looks at "what the fuck can make a bald head look classy" and compares her shit to Anne Frank stuck in her annex because what sucks, sucks. There's "always" something worse to compare our own struggle with. That doesn't make it less of a struggle. <br />So, from a stranger or whatever I am, I'm so glad you're home and soon get to hug and get to kiss all those faces you've been missing.<br />If I lived in CA, I'd bring you a bottle of wine and convince you that we'd make really good pals. My four and a half year old Eliza would truly dig your boy. <br />Plus, they both have z's in their names. That's pretty awesome.<br />Warm thoughts from St. Louis, Missouri.<br />Sarahe.grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965963847204938486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-36106572760220171122015-02-07T16:22:07.685-08:002015-02-07T16:22:07.685-08:00If we lived in SF, we would have you staying with ...If we lived in SF, we would have you staying with us!
