"And watching her now, it would be easy for me to feel badly about not being, I felt, 100% in looooooove with her from the very start. But I think, instead, I'm just going to remember that time as Part Of The Whole Picture; a reminder that sometimes, just like in a marriage or any other relationship, things are hard, and I have to put forth extra effort. And I realize I have been in love with her from the very start, and that it's okay - perhaps even absolutely NECESSARY - for me to recognize that it's not going to always be pretty or easy or fun."

- Dawn, Feeling My Way, Running With Scissors

My good friend, Dawn, is back to blogging. Well, I'm not going to hold my breath because she's a new mama and is working full time and I don't want to pressure her too much by being all, "What? You said you were back!" and have her real life get in the way of my need for her to start writing again.

But she did post that entry, and that's good enough for me right now. Dawn was an invaluable shoulder to me during some rough spots last year, and, like Melissa P., was able to encourage and support me in a manner no one else could have and for that I am forever in her debt.
