For Me This Is Heaven

As we all figure out how to make our way though today, I just wanted to share lyrics from Jimmy Eat World's "For Me This Is Heaven" which I have clung to over the last year.  Having them to lean on has helped me quite a bit.

Close my eyes
and believe
Wherever you are,
an angel for me

74 minutes of Rory

Being that today would have been Rory's 32nd birthday, it seems fitting to finally post this blog.  I've been meaning to do so for quite a while now. 

Back in 2000, both Rory and I spent a significant amount of time creating a CD full of songs which represented ourselves.

I'll probably share mine (The Life of Brian) someday but for now I'll just add Rory's for those who may be interested.

Our schoolgirl


A couple of updates based on Natalie's wonderful pre-school picture we just received (below):
~ I'm still amazed how quickly she is growing up.  She looks so old in the picture doesn't she?
~ In a conference last month, her teacher had many nice things to say about how she is doing in school right now.
~ This is, yet again, undeniable proof that her and Shane are related.  Just look at the smile...
