to be sure

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

“Pooh?” he whispered.

“Yes, Piglet?”

“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”

― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

I miss Ellie. I want to rent an RV and travel to her. I want to pick up our friends and get off the RV like we’re Ty Pennington.  I want to pull up to Ellie’s house and jump out the door of the RV and yell in that air horn (is that what it’s called?) GOOOOOD MORNING, ELLIIIIIIE!!!! And then stampede to her and hold her hand.

That’s my wish these days and I can be found standing in the kitchen staring off into space while I pretend. I’m a kid when it comes to daydreaming and Winnie the Pooh.

Happy weekend, friends.

{a big thank you to the lovely Karla of There’s Beauty in the Chaos for the quote}

In case you’re new here, that’s Ellie there, on the right. She’s currently kicking cancer’s ass via courage, radiation, chemo and the strength of her ever-growing more beautiful spirit.

I should have explained. heh. :)
Ellie is a friend of mine that is fighting cancer right now. And she’s a person that helped me in a very big way, to get sober.

My thoughts exactly.

Okay, not the Winnie The Pooh part. Tiddlypom.

So sorry. How hard for such a good friend (you) to be away from a good friend (her). Sending warm thoughts to you, and healthy thought to her!

The Pooh quote? Perfect. I get Piglet’s feeling. I so get it.
