Love turns the whole thing around.

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go away, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go away, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

(Whistle Interlude)

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good

I know it's good
The Heart of Love, by John Mayer

Yesterday was Will's birthday. 18. And this song made me cry today. Because its so true.

I get by with a little help from my friends...

These last few weeks have been absolutely insane. One of my best friends has been home from dallas for the last 2-and-a-half weeks so the party never really stopped. My aunt was here from California for a week and some pretty fun cousins were here from Dallas as well. Between all the family, homecoming, and birthday parties it would have been wild enough. But the passing of a wonderful man made this past week hard. And it made me realize how important family truly is. There are so many different kinds of family, the one you are born into and the one you create for yourself during these inbetween years. I'm blessed enough to have two beautiful families. And of course these always some bickering but I know right now that I could call at least 10 people and they would drop whatever they were doing to help me as much as they humanly could. Its a bit overwhelming how rich my life is. And readers, where ever you are in life, I hope you have that too. Because there is nothing in this life that can replace those people who love you. Ever.
