You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

can I take a moment…

23 June, 2006 /

I took this picture yesterday and I have been looking at it all day.

Can I just be a typical parent for one second and brag JUST A BIT?

This little girl made me a mommy. A real true life MOMMY. She’s 13 now.

And I think that she is the most beautiful 13 year old. EVER. She’s not only beautiful on the outside, she’s beautiful on the inside…and that’s the important part. She ‘gets’ people. Do you know how hard it is to communicate with a 13 year old who doesn’t ‘get it’? She gets it. She’s a butthead sometimes, but she’s MY butthead.

She’s funny too. She’s a dork, JUST LIKE ME.

I think she is so beautiful.

and she looks good in her roosterteeth t-shirt.
