absolutes. can't live with them, can't live without them. they provide balance, because certainty is something we pride ourselves in nowadays. we are certain that we can win the war (that is why we GO to war). we are certain about loving this person for for rest of our lives (that is why we MARRY). we are certain that jigsaw puzzles are complete (that is why we BUY them in the first place).

absolutes. death is an absolute. there's no changing it; no avoiding it. no one is above death.


tammi, i've prayed and will continue praying for you and your mom. i pray for your heart to find peace. i'm sorry that you've lost your dad to this terrible absolute. he was a wonderful man, and one that you could turn to, and look up to. just want you to know that he would be proud of you; you're a beautiful lady, with a good soul and someone anyone would be proud to call a friend.

i am here. and will always be here for you.

your friend,
val

valerie anne
in my 20s and wonderful.
dressed to dress you.
