I Told Myself...
 
I wouldn't cry when Erin and Andy left.  I held out until they pulled out of the driveway and now I can't stop crying.  I feel like a big dork.  I wish that both of them could stay out here with me.  I realize now how much Erin really means to me.  She is so wonderful.  She makes me so happy with her and I's quirky sense of humor.  I gave her a big hug and deep down I didn't want to let go.  Even though I didn't get to spend tons of time with her while she was out here I am so thankful for the time we did have.  I know that there is a God now because how else would we experience something so beautiful as LOVE.   It is the most amazing thing I have ever felt in my life and I can't imagine it coming from anywhere else.  Lord I wish you could help me stop crying. Now my nose is running and I've got tears all down my face.  But they are tears of happiness for Erin and a bit of sadness that she is gone again.

I love you Erin.
