because we miss daddy

I decided to dress up with my girls at the last minute. I did it for Miss Daffodil. She called me "Maria" all night and kept asking me to ask her what her age was, at which point she would answer very maturely, "Sixteen!"

Happy Halloween, Daddy! XOXO

blog inspiration- remembering who I am

I think this song helped form me into the person I am today. It has so many poignant and powerful lines. I will forever love Jewel!

"I'm Sensitive" by Jewel

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to anybody who has some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way
