So much to love about this "lip-dub proposal" but what made me weep: the girlfriend's reactions as she saw her family and friends appear. A side note: Isaac must have been pretty confident that she'd say yes. :-) Thanks to Jeff for the link.

Not only is my friend Beckett an amazing photographer and illustrator, but she writes well. Really well.
Every one of her personal blog posts moves me somehow, makes me think.
Beckett is able to write about the so-called little stuff but with a much bigger perspective. And sometimes, like her post about her father this week, she writes a piece that makes me cry.
Do read her "Spring Is Hard" blog post, and do read all the way to the end.
