- For S&E, that they find some peace. My heart breaks for them and they are top of mind constantly as I telepathically try to send love and support.
- For M&T, that they drink up the fabulousness of their wedding day today and stop every once in a while to tell themselves "remember this." (Oh, and also that my darling Tay's lady lumps don't pop out of her bridesmaid dress)
- For this woman and her husband. The back story on these people is that I don't know them. I stumbled upon her blog a year or so ago and I was sort of transfixed. I was at times dubious of her undying love and affection for all things domestic. I just couldn't believe that at 26, with 4 kids, she could be THAT happy all the time. They are a Mormon family, which was interesting to me in and of itself, because I know nothing about it. So, it was a bit foreign. Sometimes I would be a little in awe and feel I should probably be more like her, perfect hair and makeup, knitting and crafting while simultaneously whipping up some homemade dinner. Other times, the feminist in me would almost get angry and think 'This is bullshit.' The point is, I kept reading, almost torturing myself. Last week, she and her husband were in a Cessna plane crash. The flight instructor died and they are in critical condition, with burns all over their body. I sort of go numb when I think about it. They have 4 kids under the age of 6, I think. It's inspiring to see how the family and actually, a ton of other bloggers, have come together to raise money for the family and help. I hope they are ok.
