I'll trying to replicate it but we're going to lose some of that extemporaneous flavor...<br /><br />When Johanna and Caroline and Henry and I were weeping and hugging and trying to say goodbye to Charlie puppy I knew it was just a taste of what is to come in June. (I was crying (of course) when I wrote the first draft of this and now the tears are coming again.) I wonder about so much crying in advance - do you think it will make it any better when the time comes? I doubt it. It helps to know you're going exactly where you're supposed to go. <br /><br />-AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366454109702179995.post-4359254732273682522013-04-24T22:22:57.614-05:002013-04-24T22:22:57.614-05:00as a pastor's kid
