303 Hawthorne is mine....

I know they say you cant go home again.
I just had to come back one last time.
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam.
But these handprints on the front steps are mine.
And up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.
From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines.
Plans were drawn, concrete poured,
and nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream.

You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself.
If I could walk around I swear I'll leave.
Won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.

303 Hawthorne Drive is the house that built me....while it looks a little different (paint, furniture, etc) I still can remember the family, friends and pets that filled that house...http://www.pattersonschwartz.com/Listings/600484667

family friends but more like family

I love my family and they are a huge part of my life, of which I am very thankful for. I like to think of friends as an extension of family. There is one person who is more like family than a friend. I have known her, not all of my life but for a large part of it, 11 years. Like sisters we have had fights. We have had more fun than fights, more smiles than tears and definitely more laughs than

arguments. She has been there for the most pivotal points in my life. She has been there to wipe the tears from my eyes when those I loved where taken from me. She has been there with a glass of wine and a hug when when boys have hurt my feelings. She is an amazing person inside and out.

She recently moved back to the east coast from living here in So Cal. She is missed but only a phone call and plane ride away. As one Samantha Jones once said "We made a deal along time ago. Men. Babies. Doesn't matter, we're soul mates.

She is my best friend. She is Vikki!
