lord, don't trust me so much.

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. 
It can't take away our memories either.

In the end, life is stronger than death.

Some of this will be a bit of a repeat, but here's what's making me feel emotionally fragile today: 

My gram has been in and out of the hospital a lot lately, she's in again as of a few days ago. It was bad enough this time that they sedated and intubated her. She seems to be doing better now (is off the breathing tube), but the treatments they are trying are the polar opposite of what they were doing before. If it works, great... but its frustrating because it seems like they are just grasping at straws.

My coworker is from Japan, and my bosses SIL was traveling there. My coworkers family is okay, thankfully, but we still haven't heard anything about the SIL.

Brandy, the photographer who did my wedding, and has been doing all of Gwen's pictures, passed away suddenly yesterday. She was only 32 and has two babies, the younger of the two is only 15 months. She was such a great girl and just sort of always present in our life. I was actually just thinking the other day, "I wonder if Brandy will do Gwen's senior pictures." I'm just shocked, and sad. I'm completely heartbroken for her family, and every time I think about her husband trying to explain to her 3 yr old that mommy isn't coming back, I end up crying. I'm crying now. Its unreal. 

Two winners selected, and I just sent emails... so check yours. 

Off to distract myself with work.
