Murder she wrote

DO NOT READ LS. I REPEAT DO NOT READ LS.

If you are not LS..



Today is the 43 anniversary of the MURDER in my house! Yes, MURDER! When KS and I learned about the murder last semester, we went into detective mode. She was Sherlock and I was Watson. She was Nancy Drew and I was Angela Lansbury. Gus was Scooby. KS used her law school connections and I interlibrary-loaned by grad school butt off. What we found was both disturbing and thrilling.

(Ask me about it during the day) But trust me, it's gross. I haven't made tomato soup since finding out.

My family is big on birthdays and anniversaries, but I'm just not sure what the protocol is for remembering a murder date in one's place of residence. Cake? Balloons? A seance in the basement?

I think I'll do an extra lap around the beads tonight and call it good.

The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings. So much is changing around you but you are changing, too. You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you. It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
