    It’s a beautiful photo, Loralee. I love when I can replace words with photos. Sometimes it means more.

    Loralee,

    That is a beautifully strong face looking out beyond the frame.

    You’re having a tough time, tough enough to go silent. That is exactly the right time for Mozart’s Requiem. It’s stunning to sing and fills the heart up again.

    Sing it.

    avatar KT says:

    Loralee silent?

    Woah…

    I have been reading you for a long time and if things are bad enough for you to be QUIET, then it must be pretty bad.

    I’ll respect you enough not to ask for clarification, because you are usually very open and frank on your blog. If you are vague it is probably for a damn good reason.

    I am so sorry for whatever is causing this. Please come back soon. Your writing makes a lot of people happy.

    avatar loralee says:

    I apologize for being vague, but that is how it has to be. No way could I write about everything. I don’t even want to.

    I wouldn’t have even said anything, but the thought of leaving up a post about the election above the fold for who knows how long just wasn’t acceptable to me. So…you’ll just have to deal with a photo of me and my bed head.

    September is a craptastic month for me annually anyway, but this month a lot of things just hit all at once in a lot of areas. Everything from legal issues, serious relationship issues, and medical/insurance things to my stupid car and Matthew’s anniversary.

    Some very big things.

    And?

    I have a lot of accountability in some of these things. And it isn’t something like “I hurt someone’s feelings on the internet. Much bigger and harmful than something petty like that.

    I truly and deeply appreciate the sympathy expressed for the things raining down on my head that aren’t my fault, but temper it with the knowledge that I am not blameless in everything happening to me. I have fault here…just so you know.

    I couldn’t disagree with that statement more! (The one about you being a pretty horrible excuse of a person)

    I think you’re a pretty amazing person. And I don’t even *really* know you. If you rocketh this much in the blogiverse, you’ve got to be pretty freakin’ amazing in real life.

    Speaking of RL…so sorry it’s “sucking a duck” (or possibly a goose or turkey or maybe even an ostrich) right now.

    Hang in there lovely lady!

    Delurking, here.

    That is one breathtaking photograph.

    Something about your beautiful eyes grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go without comment.

    I have been reading you for months and when I first discovered your blog I spent days reading your archives because just like your eyes grabbed me today, your words and who you are here grabbed me and threw me into all things “Loralee” and I am glad that they did.

    You are very funny, generous and kind. Gorgeous inside and out. So many people wouldn’t love and like you if you weren’t. You can tell much more about a person by the people that love them than those that do not.

    You also seem like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You are obviously someone who has lived a lot of life;you can just tell. You seem like someone who does things in a big way. So I can guess that you probably have some big mistakes or things that are not on the “Good” list that weigh you down.

    You are still remarkable to me and I haven’t read you long. Anyone who is lucky enough to know and love you will take you mistakes and all.

    Feel better soon and please don’t be gone long. Lots of people are thinking about you.

    What the hell is with your comments? It’s not letting me leave one, so I will just say hey it’s me, your spanish taco from far away in the land of Nog.

    I am really sad to read that you are having hurt going on in your life. no matter what you ‘bring on yourself’ I think that you have a good heart, even if some decisions you make may be bad.

    I’ve known you a looooong time and have seen you at your best and your worst and I can say without hesitation that you have not deserved the things you have had to cope with in life. I’m surprised you are still here sometimes given everything.

    And I think that you’ve dealt with the crazy hurt that is your life as well as you could and are capable of. I truly believe that.

    So hugs babe. You are beautiful-inside and out. Call me.
