Well, it’s happening. It’s strange when one realized that you’ve wrapped all your dreams and ideas and thoughts up in one other person. I’m not sure whether that equates to Love or if it’s just mixed in somehow. Heather was out of touch a couple of days ago for longer than usual. Not that I expect her to check in every hour or anything, but she has a routine… and she broke it. I got all jittery – all the more so because we’ve finally put the Trip in motion and so much of it depends on her. The idea that I’d have to send an email to everyone saying “nevermind… the woman who was going to share this with me was injured in a car crash, and I just can’t do this alone” // That maybe is cold, it’s not the only thing I think about (her usefulness to me)… but like I said, frightening to have everything wrapped up in her. Girlfriend, partner, songwriting partner, website makin partner… very scary.

It’s amazing to see a lot of comments like these in the early days of the Journal. Nowadays plenty of people don’t even realize that Heather and I were an item – of course there are plenty of people that don’t realize we’re NOT… or that call Heather Kristen or Kristen Heather or Heather my wife or Kristen Kristy (Rowan’s wife)… it’s all incestuous. But it’s amazing to think we’ve all been through so MUCH and yet the music has overridden ALL of it, keeping the family together tighter than blood…
