disappointment

tonight i came very close to getting to see my brother doug. he's in town only for a few days of meetings that have kept him exceedingly busy, and there was a brief window of time today that it could have happened... but for a whole host of reasons i will not bore you with, it did not.

for a girl who hasn't seen anyone in her family in six months and ten days, this is a disappointment. i was just telling a friend last week how i miss my family. and now, i've missed this opportunity.

i'm trying to put a positive spin on it, but simply cannot seem to find a foothold to do so.

perhaps this: tomorrow is a new day.

i guess that will have to do.
