My dearest Courtney,
Thank you for today - for the few hours in a cramped sunlit space where your laugh made it impossible to actually feel cramped. Thank you for sharing with me the music on the air, plastic-knife batons, psycho, flannel shirts, dresses, shoes, cell-phones, again, your laugh, and dreams, the present abstraction of our very futures. Two o'clock on a Sunday; orchestra rehearsal; such a beautiful day spent in such a simple way.
But in all truthfulness, I would like to thank you for your inquiry on the matter of fact none other than my writing. In doing so you have in all hope set this rusty pendulum back into motion - something much needed and certainly not overlooked.
Pretty sure I've told you before, but you're kind of amazing.
Love
Christine
Dear Christine,
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so glad that I could make your day a little brighter, that I could jump-start your blogging again. And I'm glad my laugh helped you. More often than necessary, I find myself wondering if my laugh is too loud, too unladylike. Now, I'm not so worried.
As I told you already, and as I will tell you again, this post has helped me so much. It's been a rough year and a rough couple of months. Your words made yesterday brighter, and they're still making today brighter as I read them again.
Love,
Courtney
P.S. My mom and brother are pitching two more votes for you to stay with me next year. <3 :) *fingers crossed*
