yellowcard was amazing...the violinist was so cute, i wanted to just give him a hug :)...
went to malawi w/ my mom aunt and grandma...very overwhelming as usual, but got some good stuff...
While sitting among family, a man said to his grandson, "One day when you can walk, you and I will play baseball." And the boy just smiled and nodded comprehensively. Now to an outsider who knew nothing of these people, this statement would seem sweet, almost endearing. But the truth was that this man was already well into his nineties, too old to play baseball. And the boy was quadriplegic, struggling to function let alone throw a ball. But the pair just sat smiling, envisioning having a catch outside on a warm summer's day. And the family just watched, knowing that this would probably never happen.
