Just write

After reading Matt Logelin's blog, I kinda got inspired to write a little more of a daily diary, though I'm pretty sure I won't remember every day.
Christy and I were discussing grief yesterday, and how everybody's so different. For some reason, I seem to need the tears. I need to put myself back into all the pictures and movies, and just cry. Is it my need to be back in those simpler times?
I've been thinking lately about the mannerisms of some people's speech. Particularly in the area of familial relationships. I wonder why people want to use the terms like "step brother", or "step child", or even to explain that a child was adopted. That information is important in certain aspects, of course, but when I look at Micah, I see him with my heart. He is my son. Never mind that he doesn't share any of my genes, he is my son. I would rather people just leave out the "step", I would rather just know the basic relationship.
I can wish up down and sideways that the tornado hadn't happened, but I have to also admit that a lot of good things have happened out of the relationships formed since, and because of, the tornado.
