Getting my dad to look up from his book is not easy! He's been here for two days and leaves tomorrow and he's finished two books already. He just reads and reads. It's the first time we pretty much had no plans at all. We lounged around and did a whole lot of nothing! Lazy days! Not bad but I'm sure he could have done the same in New York! With that said, it's always good to have him here and my daughter and I enjoyed his company and so did our pet snake from the Oxfam Christmas market!
My favorite Post Secret of this week is about missing somebody who isn't alive anymore. In this case, the Cassie in the postcard is very much a part of the whole Post Secret thing. Her picture has been on the site for as long as I remember because as far as I remember she committed suicide and the helpline always mentioned on the site had her photo there for a while. It feels really deeply sad to truly miss someone. Just the idea you'll never, ever see them again. That they are truly gone forever - hard to get the head and heart around. I really miss Peter. That's for sure. It comes in waves. But the moments that the thoughts do come in, they are painful. I hate that I'll never see him again. I can't do anything about it though...
I GOT IT ALL WRONG ABOUT CASSIE FOLKS! THANKS TO ASG FOR POINTING THAT OUT! CHECK OUT TODAY'S COMMENTS TO KNOW MORE! CASSIE IS STILL ALIVE! SHE'S JUST NOT THE ONE YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST SECRET PAGES THESE DAYS. SORRY ABOUT THAT! SORRY CASSIE!

What a ham Ayla belle is! Guess it's true what they say that the apple don't fall far from the tree eh?
I think you are wrong about Cassie. I think the helpline/and postsecret stopped Cassie from committing suicide and they used to have her photo on the bottom as a testament to the good that the helpline could do. I think what the sender of that postcard meant was that they miss Cassie's photo at the bottom of the postsecret page. I could be wrong but that's what I remember.

God bless google. I found it. This is what used to be on the postscret site and what the sender of that postcard misses:
Although the PostSecret blog is full of poignant messages, it features a particularly notable message to the blog's founder, Frank Warren, signed "Cassie."
It reads: "Frank, This past Friday night I found myself in a black hole of depression and I didn't know how I was going to make it through the night.... I remembered seeing the Hopeline phone number in the front of your book. I talked with someone there for two and a half hours and I truly feel that they saved my life. Thank you for the book, thank Hopeline for being there, and thank the people that send in their postcards so that others know they are not alone with their secrets."

PS: sorry to be such a pompous knowitall.
Look what else that google search brought to my attention:

There is a whole forum devoted to people chatting about postsecret and the secrets that are sent in. It's funny what a phenomena the whole postsecret thing is. Personally I love it and look at them every week and have one of the books which is great (thank you sarah!)
Hey ASG! Good you point it out! I am glad to be corrected. I don't like wrong information. I'll have to edit! Or refer people to these comments! Good on you! See, I missed Cassie too but for the wrong reasons! I should pay better attention.
