Man, I love me some Garth Brooks.

Hi –

Not as much as Trisha, but he’s definitely up there. I’m watching Oprah from last week and Garth was on. I told Dad we are going to one of his shows at Wynn, whether he was a willing participant or not.

I was thinking today do you think I’ll ever fill the void I have? Will I fall in love one day and that will fill it? Will the love I have for everyone else in my life slowly fill it? Will Matt, Dad, and I fill it for each other? Or will it just be there forever and instead of ever being filled back up with love it will always be filled with longing for what I’ve been robbed of?

Just curious is all.

24 hours later, I’ve had my first hunger pain post wingpalooza.

Love you forever, miss you always.
Rachel

Only because Garth is on my TV singing it right now:

“Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared beneath the stars above

For a moment all the world was right

How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end, the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

Holding you, I held everything

For a moment wasn't I a king

But if I'd only known how the king would fall

Hey who's to say? you know I might have changed it all

Yes my life, it's better left to chance

I could have missed the pain
