The Ripple Effect | THE RIPPLE EFFECT
https://laurenandjack.wordpress.com/the-ripple-effect
God has funny ways of working in peoples’ lives. How is it that He can over and over again do the very thing we don’t want Him to do, and then we end up realizing how wise, how loving, how wonderful He is when He does it anyway? Before there was time. I felt your heart beat. And I loved you then. And I love you still. I have and always will. And I don’t ever want to leave. I just want you here with me. Could you love me. Half as much as I love you? I’d do anything for you. Just let me love you as I do.

25 November, 2008. Posted by indysun under Nate. The weekend Nathan died, we had gone to Nate’s father’s house for Thanksgiving. We’d visited 2 or 3 times, including a stay in the loft of the barn for a few weeks the summer before (re: The Woodrat. At the end of his monologue, he had softened me significantly, and he knew it because he could read me like an open book. So he finished his award-winning speech by giving me a dashing smile, and whispered, Come for a walk with me, Lauren. Lord, I haven’...

12 November, 2008. Posted by indysun under Nate. Hello, remember me? I’ve been busy and I feel like God’s still telling me to break from the blog for a little while, even if people think it’s died now, or I’ve died now or whatever. :) In any case, my thoughts have been heavy as leaden bricks lately, as well as my family’s, and I thought I would share something my mom wrote on her blog. Thanks, mom. It was truth and made me feel a little better. Love you guys. Welcome to Nathan’s world. I wish you could h...

Him | THE RIPPLE EFFECT
https://laurenandjack.wordpress.com/him
I don’t really know what to say about him. There’s too much to say. I still think of him every 10 minutes. I think I’m forgetting what his face looks like because I saw it in so many emotions, lights, and various degrees of facial hair. But then I spot his face in a photograph and it’s more familiar than my own face. He’s my favorite person, and possibly the handsomest, too. There’s a close runner-up I’m thinking of, but that runner-up looks like him, and is as loving in a boyish wa...Love you, Nate.

20 March, 2009. Posted by indysun under Uncategorized. Hey…uh…I missed you guys. So I’m just writing to tell you that. You know, the winter is FINALLY starting to pass in ole Chicago. It’s not the harshness of the winter here that bothers me. The pastey, vitamin D deficient skin of my young spawn bothers me only a little. It’s the length of the winter that bothers me. It. Is. So. Freaking. Long. Come flowers! Come Sunny Sun Sun-ee! 8220;Teach us to number our days aright, that we may have wisdom. No matt...
