Writings

So blog...yeah...it's been awhile. I wish I could say I've been super productive during my time away. I wish I could tell you I saved orphan children, made friends with dolphins (why that would make my list, I don't know. That just seems like an awesome thing to do), finished my novel, and started my own cooking show in the manner of Paula Dean. But nope. Just have been busy and lazy---the most dangerous combination! Anyways, I'll half-heartedly try to win you back blog with a piece from a semi-recent writing.

"I don’t know where you disappeared to over five years ago. In fact, I have to admit that I cannot even recall the day you stopped coming. You faded from my life in pieces.

I can’t let you leave this time. You’re dying in front of me but I refuse to acknowledge the ability of God to take you away at a moment’s notice. This time I will fight Him, even if you’d laugh at the thought of me even believing in such an antiquated idea. Wake up, Irene, and tell me He doesn’t exist. So I don’t fear Him. So I don’t try to believe this end, horrific and ugly with tubes and blood, could be written by a higher power."
