Thanks where it is due.

Sometimes it just has to rain all day, and sometimes you just need to be the person out in the storm without a port or harbor, but sometimes your harbor is standing with you holding you close and keeping you strong. <3

Its raining today which makes me sad. But I suppose it could be worse, people are coming into my life and leaving it with such a ferocity that I am not sure the scattered pieces of my soul will ever heal. There was Blue-Jay first and now Wolf and while they both left a mark on me, their passing is what hurts me the most, it's on days like today when the rain is pouring down and being wicked and the wind is beating me hard that I know: there are some people I wish were with me, and some people I am glad are gone.

I think it is high time that I gave these people their dues.

Princess, (also known as Mouse) a fellow blogger and a dear friend to me has been my port in this storm, she is one of the most amazing people I have ever known and more than that she is not just my friend but my family. She is my sister and is always there to push me to higher goals, keep me on track and to occasionally party like crazy people. We can wear bright colors dance to techno and at the same time know that if the other ever needed anything we would be there in a heart beat. Our relationship means more to me than you will ever know and I value you as my friend sister and confidant. You are my family and I miss you more than words can say, hopefully we can be back together soon.

Dwyn, (to be known on this blog as Badger from this moment on) is again a fellow blogger and an invaluable friend, she is more family to me than my own flesh and blood. There has been many a time I have called her crying, broken down, needing a place to sleep and she has always been there for me when ever I needed her. She is also one of the most talented photographers and writers of our generation, really just try to read some of her stuff it will blow your mind! Dywn you are the most beautiful and talented person I have ever known and you are my sister more than any member of my blood family.

Thank you both so much for everything you have done for me these past few months. I know that we will still be best friends until the end of time and no matter the distance know that I will always love you and value you as the gemstones you really are.

I love you.
