I cling to my routine hoping for a semblance of normalcy...
I was reading bedtime stories to my James and my Chase. And I couldn't stop the tears when the final words in this simple children's story were about the importance of friends. Friends are an amazing gift. This is what I know: last weekend was the hardest weekend of my life. I have never felt more betrayed and hurt and sorrow. But, thankfully I felt like I was in the company of angels lifting and consoling and caring. Dear friends in New York. And more than that, with every breath I felt the love of so many people near and far. I never knew how much my friendships buoy me up...but they do. And I'll be ok. I'm here in the arms of some of my closest friends, my family.

Dearest Angie, I love you. You are delicate yet strong, and an adored friend to so many. You are a gift to all who cross your path.
you are so easy to be a friend to because you are such an amazing friend to everyone you meet. you have incredible strength. i admire you more than you'll ever know. and i love you more than you'll ever know too!

Ang,
Sending you lots of hugs and love from far away. Wishing you sunnier skies ahead and daily laughter with your boys.
You are one of my most favorite people and most cherished friends. The years we were roommates together were some of the most fun of my life - so many silly memories and so much strength in friendship that will last forever!
Love you tons!

You are such a wonderful friend! You have so many who are here to support you. I am so glad that I could be with you in New York during such a difficult weekend.
You have 2 amazing little boys who are so lucky to have you as their mother!
love you!
Nothing blows more than a crap trip to NY (as if the stinky subways and rude cabbies aren't enough). But it's always been the friends I had in NY that make me miss it so.
Nothing is more soothing and comforting than a good friend and a Jane Austen novel (or movie).
Lots of love.
Sending you my love and thoughts from over the ocean and beyond. Know that I'm always here for you no matter what, just as I know you'd be for me.
All of us admire you, Angie. You are incredibly nice and fun to be around. I've always said that Lane's greatest gift is acquiring amazing people as her friends ... because then I get to be their friend too.
xoxo.
You're such an awesome person. I miss having you next door. Some day it'll be nice to understand the "why", but just know that there's lots of people who love you. Love you Ang! :)
Love you, too.
You are someone who has seemed to do everything right and it makes it harder to watch as you have been wronged. I love you dearly.
I love you Ang. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are an amazing person.
Angie, I wish I could be there to give you a hug, even though I've just recently been introduced to your blog. You are an amazing person and I truly feel sad that I have missed out getting to know my cousin better. Please know that you're family ,even extended cousins you never see, care so much for you. Love and miss you.
We are thinking about you too Ang! I hope things get better soon. Love, E and G
Kind, sweet, beautiful, angelic Angie: Please know how amazing and wonderful I think you are. Sometimes life totally sucks. Thank goodness you have so many people who don't suck who love you and want to take care of you and help you through the suckiness. I love you.
