Your imagery was rich, your metaphor was unexpected, your pacing was perfect, and your feelings were palpable.<br /><br />Lovely.<br /><br />Thinking about this as a message from a friend, I'm so glad to know you have something safe and steady and solid during all this transition. You deserve it, Sarah: the wild, joyful children, the baby who needs you, the husband who wants to take care of you, and all the love.<br /><br />Just lovely.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644613647401437326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-20223812588381489102011-11-18T00:22:44.192-06:002011-11-18T00:22:44.192-06:00Sounds like you have a fabulous husband.
