It made me cry, thinking of your parents and all the love and amazing things they're missing; and to imagine how you feel. You are the strongest person I know, Leah. I cannot imagine all the sadness you've felt, and I just hope that you know and feel my love. Your parents were my second set of parents in Burma, and I loved them! They were so generous, funny, loving and caring. Your mom's students had so many good things to say about her, and your dad? He was the best coach ISY saw, from what I hear! I am so excited for you to come to Moon Lake with my family and I hope that you're able to share memories of your parents with my parents. I hope that we're able to have fun, laugh, and maybe cry together. Moon Lake is such a special place to me, and I am beyond ecstatic that you'll be there to share it with me. You're the first friend of mine to come up there! I'm sorry if I sound sappy. I just wanted you to know that your post really touched me and made me reflective. I love you!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637899437174313384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317328489765987306.post-15841784150438772952010-03-29T08:24:38.351-07:002010-03-29T08:24:38.351-07:00Aww Leah, what a touching post. I can't imagin...Aww Leah, what a touching post. I can't imagine what it must feel like, when the seemingly most simple things can spark you to remember your parents and miss them. It must be really hard sometimes. Appreciating family is a funny thing. The older I get, the more I appreciate my parents and get frustrated with those people who take theirs for granted. I hope I never do. I'm so envious of friends in NY that get to see their parents all the time. They don't know how lucky they are to be able to drop by their parents' place anytime they feel like it. I just ache for my family sometimes and have to lean on my "NY family" to support me. It's all relative of course, but I understand how you must feel. I can't ever put myself exactly in your shoes, but heartache is heartache, I think! I hope amidst some of the sadness you felt, you found some sense of calm and happiness being around my family - I know they really like you and think the world of you and what a wonderful person you are. We talked a lot about you before you came and everyone was really excited to catch up with you. So you have a lot of love aiming your way from the Brennans :) Anyway, it was so wonderful to see you. Way too short. Love you. xoxoxMiss Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202923647354419773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317328489765987306.post-2883552024928216202010-03-28T17:41:31.182-07:002010-03-28T17:41:31.182-07:00P.S.

I, too wonder and hope that they are enjoying it to the fullest.<br /><br />It was wonderful to have you here this weekend. I love you very much and appreciate everything you do to help me with Lucas.<br /><br />Don't worry, I'll watch March Madness games with your boyfriend. someday and I'll be sure to tell him all about Daddy, too. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
