Dear best friend
Dear best friend, That sounds like a dream, the dandelions covering you and then that Ruth B. Song… Wow! I feel like it is too many signs to be ignored. And you are not silly for feeling that about your flame. I agree these things can be strangely complicated and hard to see with the naked eye.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, I am sure your two girls are in great hands for the church camp. I understand what you mean about missing their presence, and how it's a reminder they'll be off on their own one day. It is a startingly scary thing for me to think of. The world and the people in it are scary and very unpredictable and cruel at times.

Tony & Maria
We sought help from the Faceless Man. We couldn’t let a rumble destroy us. Maria made me feel like a million springs had blossomed in my soul. I was once a convict with a bad past of my own making. I knew that my heart was good now and ready to create something wonderful with Maria.

Super plasma powered heist (or 3 Ghosts)
Her death is not quiet. It is a violent quaking of nerves being strung out like uncooked bucatini noodles and then boiled in scadling oil, crispy. The plasma building up in my core was too much to keep inside. The sun’s gravity can’t hold it down. Why should I?

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, Yes you're correct about busyness being my safe place. It helps me with my summer time blues, as you know. So, I know for you, being at home and self-care is better and I appreciate that since that's how you connect with God.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, I am editing The Half Paper Moon and my sequel to I am Bexley. It is a very time consuming process. They are very important to me, however, so I am trying hard. Do you still love John as much as before? And Barbara? You know John and Barbara mean a lot to me.
