Blue Eyed Girl
This is a photo that I had taken in my B&W film class. I scanned it in using the film scanner in my digital class and then brought out her blue eye.

Faithfully,.........
.....loves her husband. To her love is more than a word or something spoken, it was her last look into my eyes before I stepped on the plane. As I stared she said without words, "My love is unconditional". It was her hand holding mine before we parted, a touch that was more powerful than the winds of "Katrina", a touch that said I am in love with this family of four. It's her soft voice on the phone that brightens my darkest days, it calms my deepest fears and soothes my aching heart.
The word "Weak" doesn't apply to this woman. She seamlessly runs this family with dedication, power and devotion; even when she is at her lowest point, the rest of the world would quit.....she keeps going. As a Navy wife she has been a pillar of strength for this family. After two children she is more beautiful today than ever before and tomorrow she will be more beautiful than today. This amazing woman packed and sold our home and relocated in Michigan all practically on her own; better yet, she then followed her dreams enrolled herself in school, again, and is on her way to being a portrait photographer of unimagineable talent and is already the best in the family.
Some might ask, "How did you get so lucky", well I ask myself the same question, so I am sorry I can't answer that. But I will ask all of you what your defintion of "Forever" is, because for me its not a unit of time, but a measurement of my love for my wife.
When you and the one you love can look at each other and say I have found my soulmate......Thats "Love", Faithfully.

Grey's
Tonight was the first night of Grey's Anatomy. If you are anything like me, you have been counting down the days all summer until tonight. There is something powerful about this show, powerful enough to move you. It makes you feellike being a better person, it makes you question your life and the way you live it, it makes you love what you have and work hard to get what you don't. It's just a great show. If you haven't watched it, try and you'll see.
So tonight the show started off with a silent bang, one of my favorite Dixie Chicks songs. If you know it, you heard it, if you don't, you didn't. But it's an amazing lullaby that they wrote for their kids, and I just happen to sing it to mine all the time:)
At the end of last season Denny died. It was emotional yes, but tonight- for me- was way more emotional. Sometimes somethings bring you right back to a certain situation. For me tonight it was back to the day my brother died and the first time I saw him for the last time. (it's about to get pretty deep and pretty mushy, so stop reading if you're not into it).
Anyway, when Dr. Bailey was sitting in the waiting room waiting to identify Denny's body it brought me right back to Chelsea hospital, June 17th, 2001. There is something about that breathless feeling of seeing a body and the anticipation of knowing that picture will be stuck in your mind forever. The breathless silence that sticks with you. If you don't know what I'm talking about, lucky you. If you do, God bless you too!
"A split second changes your life and before you know it, you're someone else." and it's true. When he died I instantly became someone else. Not by my own doing, it just sort of happened. I instantly grew up. I instantly felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. Being his only sister, I'm all they had. Everyone else that is. I felt like I couldn't be carefree anymore, because God forbid I died right after my brother. God forbid I fail at something and let anyone down. Granted this feeling only lasted a little while, but still it was there. My bottom dropped out and I felt like I had to be the strong one.
Like izzy said tonight, "I was happy to play any part if it would make everyone feel more comfortable." So I did. I played the strong, solid sister; though not invincible. And it helped me to get through the shittiest part of my life.
Anyway, nuff of the sappy stuff. I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE LOve Love this show! I am thrilled it's back and look out Thursday nights here I come. I'm sure I'll have more sappy blogs to post next week;)
