National Blog Posting Month can go away right now.

I had a bad thing happen to a good friend today, and I'm truly heartbroken.

It has me thinking about how M and I are so far away from our support system and so out of touch with what defines us as us. Despite email, VoiP, blogs, message boards, texting, and the gazillion ways we're able to stay in touch, and despite the fact that we're lucky enough to be able to visit and be visited by our friends and family, the fact remains that we're 6,000 miles away from the people we love the most and that we rely on to love us back. If our move to London has done anything, it's rendered in high definition the true meaning of home.
