My thoughts are with the twin cities tonight

My best friend lived in Minneapolis for years. She went to the university there for grad school. I used to go up there every summer. I've traveled the I-35 bridge. The cities are beautiful and the people are wonderful. They are the only cities in which I'd ever consider living. Now she lives an hour north of me. So my heart isn't racing with panic. Yet, still my heart is a little broken.

My heart and prayers go out to the people of the cities tonight.

I have an older cousin who still lives in the area. I'm sure she's Ok. Still, I sent her an e-mail and I'll breathe just a bit easier when she writes me...even if she sends me one of her notorious "God loves me" or "make a wish" chain letters. She's a sweet woman who tells me fun stories about my Mom.
