dear mommee
i was reading and listening to music last nite. i stopped for a moment. i felt some kind of presence. some kind of magnetic energy all around me. was that you rocking me to sleep? if it was then i fell asleep in your embrace. i still feel a heightened sense of energy around me.


October 15-16, 2001 (Excerpt)

dear mommee,
. . . its no fair. i know we're not to ask why, but why? why such a beautiful person? such a close family should have part of their heart ripped away? i hate to ask why not some other family who was already torn up. yes, i guess i am angry at god. why is his needs more important than ours? what is he trying to tell us and what are we to learn? . . .
