So, the question is, were Romeo and Juliet soulmates? Or were they just a couple of kids who got in over their heads?
What if their folks had been on speaking terms? Well, it would have been a shorter story for one thing, but do you think their love would have stood the test of time?
Was it meant to be? Was it destiny? Was there only one man in the world for Juliet? And was she the only one for Romeo?
Is there such a thing as Soulmates?

Hi Guys,
I’m posting today to ask you for a favor.
I read an article last night about a boy in my community:
“Wesley was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 12. Since then he has undergone two surgeries, 30 days of radiation and nine rounds of chemotherapy. Tests in November 2008, 2009 and 2011 showed additional spots on his brain…”
He’s turning 17 this week, which is pretty fantastic considering all he’s been through, and his family is asking people to send birthday cards to Wesley.
So that’s it – that’s the favor – would you send a birthday card?
When I read this, I immediately thought of the Quote this week: “The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention.” Normally, I would think about sending a card, but then I would never do it. I certainly wouldn’t ask you guys to do it. But I don’t want to continue simply being a person with good intentions. I want to be a person who follows through on her good intentions. (That’s not a guilt trip, that’s just me being honest about myself.)
So I pulled 10 cards out of my office drawer for Westley. Yes, I had 10 birthday or blank cards piled up in there. Those cards represent a lot of other good intentions that were never realized. I’m going to get my co-workers to write Happy Birthdays to Wesley, and for the cost of 10 stamps, we can help make his birthday week a joyful one.
You don’t even have to buy a card – you can make one or have the kids make one.
Those are even better!
Anyway, I’m just throwing this out there and if you are able to do it, that would be great. Or you could share this on your blog or Facebook – maybe he will get some cards from all over. What a treat that would be!

Anger, anger,
anger, anger, anger!
In this moment
it all comes
crashing down
on me and it
crushes my lungs
and robs the
breath right
from my lips.
And then again
am I really sad for you,
or for me?
Sometimes it burns,
this sadness,
and I can’t fill up
the emptiness or dismiss
these ever-present thoughts
of you, of loving you
and holding you in
my arms and kissing the
top of your head,
and you smell so sweet
like all little babies do.
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you…
Most of the time I just love you
and crave you near me,
like you used to be
so very long ago…
I want to hug you,
and know you again.
I want to keep my precious memories
as dear to me as they are now
and still get to have you growing older
like other children do.
I want to tell you how much I love you.
I want to tell you that.
