An Email To My Husband
David is usually so busy at work I rarely speak to him. We are a no-texting family (except for relief aid to Haiti. that was my first real text message. aren't you proud of me????) so we don't text each other. But once in a while I'll shoot him an email because odds are he'll read it at some point in the day. Here's what I just sent him.

i'm sitting here working and lily is in the other room resting. she's very stuffy so she's having a mental health day. cherries (the gerbil) appears to be paralyzed from the waist down and i think we need to discuss "eliminating" him even though we do not believe in the death penalty.

i am very sad about the vikings and am trying not to think about it.

i also need to let you know that god is laying some heavy burdens on my heart about orphans and haiti and the state of the world. i want to know what else we can do and i want to adopt again and i don't know what to do with that desire.

whoa. what was that? that was me unloading on you.

love,
me


I think maybe he would prefer my silence.

I think probably I could've written the same email to Zach with the exception of the gerbil and the Vikings part. :)

You are SO not alone in those feelings...we've been mulling for a week on the idea.
