I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

a happy sad day.


One of my very best friends is getting married today,
and I couldn't be happier for her but at the same time I am so sad.
I wish I could be there with her.
I hate that we live so far away from each other.
She's like a sister to me.
A sister I chose.
I love you Ape.
I hope your day is beautiful.
