And the walls came tumbling down...

Sometimes I feel like I am in the process of building a wall and every step of the way, no matter how I repair it, it just keeps tumbling. Or maybe that I feel like I am swimming upstream. This past month has just been bleh! Mom has been gone for 1 month, officially today. The earthquake in Haiti (a country I went to visit my first time overseas). Today I found out that a fellow RA was killed in a car accident (she was only 25 and passed basically in the same state as mom, only faster), and then my friend Amber is watching a little orphan who has a heart condition and has some illness that is causing him to be so miserable that he can't eat or sleep and all he does is cry and then his crying makes his heart basically freak out. It just seems like one block is placed and then one falls down. WOW!
