Dear Nana is very close to the end of her life. She has said so many beautiful and comforting things recently - she's invited Eowyn, Coco, Kat and me to an 'Ady Ladies' Tea Party' in heaven. She told me I was love personified these last months. And she's been amazingly kind and understanding about how hard it was for me to adapt to life in the USA initially. She said "You must have not wanted to hear another thing about America!" It's been a real time of reconciliation and love between us.

Bens is on his way out now - he wanted to go alone, and be with his family. He has taken his academic garb to don for her, as it seems she won't be able to be at his graduation ceremony on Saturday. Dear Bens. His last exam was today, so he's a graduand.

Thank you all for your love and prayers and kindness to us,

Love Megs

This is Jonathan, who has lived all his life in Kosovo. Eowyn & Coco loved his company. My ailment has now been with me for 3 weeks. I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihuv5z6nqWw and was much amused. I don't think anybody reads these blogs any more. The only people who comment on mine are Bens and me. Hello! Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters. Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...
