First time posting here- hope you don't mind.

I can't live without ANY of my immediate family.

My mother and sister are my best friends, other than my wonderful husband. My children are such a big part of me that it would kill me if anything happened to them and I couldn't be with them every day. My brother, well some days I don't mind a break from him - but I know it would kill me if anything happened to him.

I've been through grieving for three of my family membes over the last few years and I do not want to have to do it again. So I think I'll keep everyone just the way they are - right here with me.

Terri. I have known her since we were three. She knows me better than I know myself.
Icarus. I owe him my life.
Buster, my dog.
Animate.

Travis, my best friend Geri...my cats, cigarettes and caffeine. Okay. Maybe I can live without the last two. Maybe.

ha! me again. i have a great fear, greater than the fear that i wouldn't be able to live without the people who are important to me -- a fear that i WOULD be able to live without them. like i couldn't help it, and i'd just have to go on living without them, and even if life did go on, i don't think i could handle the pain. but moving on. important people: -my family. i have awful nightmares about them dying sometimes. particularly my baby brother, i love him to bits and pieces, and he loves me, which is the best part. -Chris O. he was my best friend in high school, also my boyfriend, though no longer. he is history for me, someone who i actually know from high school, which is incredible for me. that familiarity is immensely comforting and vital to me, even if he does drive me nuts sometimes. -Matte, Trina, Linnea. friends here at school. they support me, and listen to me, laugh with me, and drive me places. -Ron, John, Aaron, Arthur, Emily. other friends here at school. they are people i love being with, and i love seeing around. i will be very lonely without them next year. -Amit. i love him. i can say almost anything to him. he is gentle and careful with me, and adores me as much as i adore him. i am so safe with him. i feel so blessed to know him and to be such a part of his life as he is part of mine.
