Again. It saddens me that I've not been here as much as I would like. Fragments of stories.  Of thoughts. Words quietly spoken instead of written. I'm at a crossroads of so many things in my life.   Work.  Home.  Love. You think by the time you reach your 30's, you'd have everything ... http://www.withgrace.net/loved/2008/10/where-am-i-going/ What a month September has been.  It started out nice with a visit from the Boy and cooler temperatures coming around here and there.   Then, what was supposed to be just some simple tests for infection, my mom informs me that my dad has cancer of the bladder.

Just for a little bit. The peeps from Charter will be at my apartment next week to hook a sister up with the Internets and cable, [sports package too, rah rah rah!] so I can be in touch with what goes on around the ... http://www.withgrace.net/loved/2008/08/out-of-the-office/ They say things happen for a reason. At least, that is what we tell ourselves when no other explanation will do in circumstances that could be considered, 'bad'.  The 'good' ones as well for that matter. Like losing my entire archive of of blog posts.  Don't ask me how I did it.  I just did, in tweaking here ... http://www.withgrace.net/loved/2008/08/and-the-reason-is/
