Belleville, Illinois

I got back last night from a last-minute, mid-week trip to Belleville, Illinois to help Jen lay her father, and Naz's father-in-law, to rest. It was good to see Jen and Naz, albeit the circumstances could always be better. Andrew, Cinnamon and I helped out as much as we could, which basically meant being there.

Jen and Naz (and family),

You guys are strong, real strong.

I went out for a run and came across this abandoned railroad trestle. "I've grown tired of holding this." That's a sentiment we all share at some time or another.
