Sideways

The only way I know how to sum up my feelings lately is from a song:

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts to leave me
There's not words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
Flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knocking me sideways
They've been knocking me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away. 

Sideways, Citzen Cope

I'm so sorry for your loss, Katie. Even in the short time we worked together I remember you lighting up when talking about your grandparents. I hope that you find the strength to make it through the next few months with the grace, spirit, and dignity that you inherited from your grandmother.

Right after I read this post, I downloaded The Clarence Greenwood Recordings on iTunes. I'd never heard of Citizen Cope before, and now I adore that album! I got an email this morning that Citizen Cope is coming to ND's campus this Friday, and I'm sad you're the only other person I know of who would go to the concert with me!
